Question
When 6.13 g of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 90. g of formamide (NH2COH), the freezing point of the solution is measured to be 2.1 °C. Calculate the molar mass of X. If you need any additional information on formamide, use only what you find in the ALEKS Data resource. Also, be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:
321.6 g/Mol
Explanation:
mass of solvent in kilograms = 90g/1000 = 0.09 Kg
Given that;
ΔTf = Kf . m . i
Where;
Kf = freezing point constant = 4.25 °C/Kg mol
m = molality of the solution
i = Van’t Hoff factor = 1 (since the substance is molecular)
ΔTf = freezing point of pure solvent – freezing point of solution
freezing point of pure solvent = 3 °C
ΔTf = 3 °C – 2.1 °C
ΔTf = 0.9 °C
0.9= 4.25 * 6.13/M/0.09 * 1
0.9= 26.0525/M * 1/0.09
0.9 = 26.0525/0.09 M
0.9 * 0.09M = 26.0525
M = 26.0525/0.9 * 0.09
M= 321.6 g/Mol
