Question

Suppose that 8.992 g of a volatile solute is dissolved in 240.0 g of water. The solute also does not react with water nor dissociate in solution. The pure solute displays, at 30°C, a vapor pressure of 3.182 torr.. Again, assume an ideal solution. If, at 30°C the vapor pressure of the solution is also 31.540 torr.  Calculate the molar mass of this volatile solute.
