### Calculating Vapor Pressure of a Solution

**Problem Statement:**
The vapor pressure of **ethanol** is 54.68 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in ethanol is **saccharin**. 

Calculate the vapor pressure of the solution at 25 °C when 13.39 grams of saccharin, \( C_7H_5NO_3S \) (183.2 g/mol), are dissolved in 204.9 grams of ethanol.

**Given:**
- Ethanol = \( C_2H_5OH \) = 46.07 g/mol
- Vapor Pressure of ethanol = 54.68 mm Hg
- Mass of saccharin = 13.39 g
- Mass of ethanol = 204.9 g

**Solution:**
To find the vapor pressure of the solution, use Raoult's Law:

\[
\text{VP(solution)} = \text{VP(pure solvent)} \times \text{mole fraction of solvent}
\]

### Steps:

1. **Calculate Moles:**
   - Moles of saccharin: 
     \[
     \left(\frac{13.39 \text{ g}}{183.2 \text{ g/mol}}\right) = 0.0731 \text{ moles}
     \]
   - Moles of ethanol: 
     \[
     \left(\frac{204.9 \text{ g}}{46.07 \text{ g/mol}}\right) = 4.448 \text{ moles}
     \]

2. **Calculate Mole Fraction of Ethanol:**
   - Total moles = 0.0731 + 4.448 = 4.521 moles
   - Mole fraction of ethanol:
     \[
     \left(\frac{4.448}{4.521}\right) = 0.9839
     \]

3. **Calculate Vapor Pressure of the Solution:**
   - Using Raoult's Law:
     \[
     \text{VP(solution)} = 54.68 \times 0.9839 = 53.80 \text{ mm Hg}
     \]

**Conclusion:**
The vapor pressure of the solution containing saccharin and ethanol at 25 °C is 53.80 mm Hg.
