Calculate the number of moles of sucrose (C12H22O11) using its mass and molar mass. Use the formula: \( \text{moles of sucrose} = \frac{\text{mass of sucrose}}{\text{molar mass of sucrose}} \).
Calculate the number of moles of water using its mass and molar mass. Use the formula: \( \text{moles of water} = \frac{\text{mass of water}}{\text{molar mass of water}} \).
Determine the mole fraction of water in the solution. The mole fraction of water is given by: \( X_{\text{water}} = \frac{\text{moles of water}}{\text{moles of water} + \text{moles of sucrose}} \).
Apply Raoult's Law to find the vapor pressure of the solution. Raoult's Law states: \( P_{\text{solution}} = X_{\text{water}} \times P^0_{\text{water}} \), where \( P^0_{\text{water}} \) is the vapor pressure of pure water.
Substitute the values into the equation from Raoult's Law to calculate the vapor pressure of the solution.
