Solution Summary
The solution involves the calculation of the vapour pressure of a component of solution given the molecular weights of the molecules, temperature, and pressure of one of the components.
Solution Preview
Because, molecular wt of glycerin (C3H8O9) = 12*3 + 8 + 16*3 = 92
Molecular wt of ethanol (C2H5OH) = 2*12 + 5 + 16 + 1 ...
