As we learnt in

Expression of relative lowering of vapour pressure -

\frac{\Delta P}{ P^{0}}= x_{solute}

x_{solute}= \frac{ n_{solute}}{ n_{solute}+n_{solvent}}
 

 

- wherein

\Delta P \: is \: lowering \: o\! f \: v.p.

P^{0}\rightarrow \: vapour\: pressure\: of \: pure\: solvent

x_{solute}\rightarrow \: mole\: fraction \: of \:non\: volatile\: solute

 

 Mass of Glucose =\frac{18}{180}=0.1

Moles of Water = =\frac{178.2}{18}=9.9

Mole fraction of Glucose =\frac{1}{100}

From Raoult's law =\frac{760-p_{6}}{760}=\frac{1}{100}

ps = 752.4 tour
