Table sugar granules were dissolved in a glass of water. The solid sugar granules have no measurable vapor pressure, making water as the contributor to the entire vapor pressure of the resulting solution. If sugar was added to the glass of water until the water makes up a mole fraction of 0.75 in the solution, what is the vapor pressure of water in this solution? Given the following: vapor pressure of water at 25°C is 23.8 torr. A. 23.8 torr B. 5.95 torr C. 29.75 torr D. 17.9 torr
