Answer

$136torr$

Work Step by Step

We know that moles of $C_3H_8O_3=53.6g\times \frac{1mol}{92.09g}=0.582mol\space C_3H_8O_3$ moles of $C_2H_5OH=133.7g\times \frac{1mol}{46.07g}=2.90mol\space C_2H_5OH$ Now total moles $=0.582+2.90=3.48mol$ Using Raoult's law, we have $113 torr=\frac{2.90mol}{3.48mol}\times P^{\circ}_{C_2H_5OH}$ This simplifies to: $P^{\circ}_{C_2H_5OH}=136torr$
