Vapor Pressure of a Mixture: Raoult's Law - Example 2 ends

This mixture is injected, and the mercury is depressed to 415 millimeters. This solution, which has a higher mole fraction of ether than the previous one, has a higher vapor pressure. However, the mercury is not depressed as much as the pure solution of ether, because the vapor pressure of decane still contributes to the total vapor pressure (as stated in Raoult's law).

(The voice over incorrectly says Òpure solution of etherÓ.)
