  5. Glycerin (C3H8O3) is a nonvolatile liquid.  What is the vapor pressure of a solution made by adding 164 g of glycerin to 338 mL of H2O at 39.8°C?  The vapor pressure of pure water at 39.8°C is 54.74 torr and its density is 0.992 g/cm3.

  7. At a certain temperature the vapor pressure of pure benzene (C6H6) is 0.930 atm.  A solution was prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of a non-dissociating, nonvolatile solute in 78.11 g of benzene at that temperature.  The vapor pressure of the solution was found to be 0.900 atm.  Assuming that the solution behaves ideally, determine the molar mass of the solute.
