Detailed Solution

Benzene vapor pressure (po)at 293K=640mm
Benzene solution vapor pressure at 293K= 630mm
Molality = ?
p0-pp0=nBnA=WBMB×MAWA×10001000 Where, WBMB×1WA×1000= Molality  p0-pp=nBnA= Molality ×MA×11000640-630640×100078= Molality  Molality =640-630640×100078=0.20 Molality = 0.20

Hence, the correct option is: (C) 0.20
