    Mole fraction of solute is 0.0462

    Explanation:

    To solve this we use the colligative property of lowering vapor pressure.

    First of all, we search for vapor pressure of pure water at 25°C = 23.8 Torr

    Now, we convert the Torr to mmHg. Ratio is 1:1, so 23.8 Torr is 23.8 mmHg.

    Formula for lowering vapor pressure is:

    ΔP = P°. Xm

    Where ΔP = P' (Vapor pressure of solution) - P° (Vapor pressure of pure solvent)

    Xm = mole fraction

    24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg = 23mmHg. Xm

    Xm = (24.9 mmHg - 23.8 mmHg) / 23mmHg

    Xm = 0.0462
