It is asked the vapour pressure of 1 molal solution which means 1 mol of solute in 1000 g H2O.

Moles in 1000g of water = 55.55 mol.         (Since the molecular weight of H2O is 18)

Mole fraction of solute :

                                                 \frac{1}{1+55.55} = 0.0177

Applying the equation :

                                          \frac{p_w^{\circ} - p}{p_w^{\circ}} = x_2

or                                       \frac{12.3 - p}{12.3} = 0.0177

or                                            p = 12.083\ KPa

Thus the vapour pressure of the solution is 12.083 KPa
