Answer is: 48,25 torr.

Raoult's Law: p = x (solv) · p (solv)

p - vapour pressure of a solution.

x (solv) - mole fraction of the solvent.

p (solv) - vapour pressure of the pure solvent.

n (ethanol) = 950g : 46,07g/mol = 20,62 mol.

x (solv) = moles of solvent : total number of moles

x (solv) = 20,62 : 21,77 = 0,965.

p = 0,965 ·50,0 torr = 48,25 torr.
