    You take the initial minus final mass to determine how much benzene was saturated.

    7.7781-5.5139 = 2.2642

    Then divide by molar mass of benzene (78.11g/mol) to get the mols saturated.

    2.2642/78.11 = 0.02899

    Now plug into PV=nRT. After a small algebraic manipulation, we get P=nRT/V

    You are given everything else. Just plug in. Don't forget to change degrees Celsius to K.

    Your answer will be in atmospheres so you will need to multiply by 760 to get torr.

    Your answer should be: 106.8 torr (if I plugged in correctly)
