mols biphenyl = grams/molar mass.
mols benzene = grams/molar mass.
Xbenzene = nbenzene/total mols.
Psoln = Xbenzene*Pobenzene
19.6 g of biphenyl /154.21 g of biphenyl*mol-1= moles of biphenyl
25.1 g of benzene/78.11 g of benzene *mol-1= moles of benzene
Since at 25°C, the vapor pressure of pure benzene is 100.84 torr, then the pressure must be equal to the mole fraction of benzene to the total number of moles in the solution
100.84 torr*(moles of benzene/[moles of benzene + moles of biphenyl])= pressure of the solution
