Explain how the vapor pressure calculated and the resulting Clausius-Clapeyron plot are affected?

the volume air occupies decreases when the ethanol is added. The air pressure should, therefore, be calculated using P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2 instead of P1/T1 = P2/T2.

According to the second statement of the questions, to calculate the air pressure, the volume occupied by the air is assumed constant. This statement is not correct due to the volume that is fullfield by the air is in reality decreasing as the ethanol is added. This way, the vapor pressure calculated and resulting Clausius-Clapeyron plot are affected because as volume decreases, vapor pressure will decrease.
