To get the vapor pressure of the resulting solution, we use the Raoult’s Law:

Psolution = (χsolvent) (P°solvent)

 

1st: Calculate the mol fraction of the solvent. In this case, water is the solvent.

χsolvent = 3.7 mol / (3.7 mol + 0.6 mol)

χsolvent = 0.86

2nd: Calculate the vapor pressure.

Psolution = (0.86) (23.8 torr)

Psolution = 20.48 torr
