Explain each step

Ethylene glycol, formula C2H6O2, is used as antifreeze for automobiles
and is sometimes mixed with water at a 1:1 ratio by volume and produces a
solution with a density of 1.07 g/mL. Assume that the solution behaves ideally.
Notes: at 25 °C the densities of water and ethylene glycol are 1.00 g/mL and
1.11 g/mL, respectively, the vapor pressures of water and ethylene glycol at 20
oC are 17.54 torr and 0.06 torr, respectively, and Kb and Kf of water are 0.51
K/m and 1.86 K/m, respectively.
a. What is the freezing point of this solution?
b. What is the vapor pressure, in torr, of this solution at 20 °C?
c. What is the osmotic pressure, in atm, of this solution at 25 °C and 0 °C?
d. What is the mass percent (m/m)% of this solution?
