Question

The vapour pressure of water at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $17.5 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg}$. If $18 \mathrm{~g}$ of glucose $\left(\mathrm{C}_6 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_6\right)$ is added to $178.2 \mathrm{~g}$ of water at $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, the vapour pressure of the resulting solution will be

$ \begin{aligned} & \frac{P^0-P_s}{P_s}=X_{	ext {solute }} \ & \frac{17.5-P_s}{P_s}=\frac{0.1}{10} \ & \frac{17.5-P_s}{P_s}=0.01 \ & \Rightarrow P_s=17.325 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg} \end{aligned} $
