Explanation / Answer

5)

mass of ethylene glycol = 78 grams

moles of ethylene glycol = 78 / 62.07

                                      = 1.257 mol

moles of water = 122 / 18 = 6.78 mol

mole fraction of ethylene glycol = 1.257 / (1.257 + 6.78)

                                                  = 0.1564

Po - Ps / Po = 0.1564

21.1 - Ps / 21.1 = 0.1564

Ps = 17.8 torr

vapour pressure of solution = 17.8 torr
