A solution contains naphthalene (C10H8 MM: 128.164 g/mol) dissolved in hexane (C6H14 MM: 86.172 g/mol) at a concentration of 10.85% naphthalene by mass. Calculate the vapor pressure at 25 degrees celsius of hexane above the solution. The vapor pressure of the pure hexane at 25 degrees celsius is 151 torr. [Hint: Assume 100g solution]
