Vapour pressure of heptane 

Vapour pressure of octane = 46.8 kPa

We know that,

Molar mass of heptane (C7H16) = 7 × 12 + 16 × 1

= 100 g mol?1

Number of moles of heptane =25/100

= 0.25 mol

Molar mass of octane (C8H18) = 8 × 12 + 18 × 1

= 114 g mol?1

Number of moles of octane

= 0.31 mol

Mole fraction of heptane,.25/(.25+.31)

= .448

And, mole fraction of octane, x2 = 1 ? 0.456

= 0.551

Now, partial pressure of heptane, 

= 0.488 × 105.2

= 51.34 kPa

Partial pressure of octane, 

= 0.551 × 46.8

= 25.79 kPa

Hence, vapour pressure of solution, ptotal p1 + p2

=  77.13kPa
