A solution of methanol in water at 25 °C lowers the vapor pressure of the water by 0.26 torr. The vapor pressure of pure water at 25 °C is 23.76 torr. What is the vapor pressure (in torr) of water over an aqueous solution of CaCl₂, made to the same concentration as the methanol solution and also at 25 °C? Note: Assume ideal van't Hoff factors.
