Asked by Steph

0.959 g of a hydrocarbon is dissolved in 10.00g of benzene. The freezing point of the solution is 1.16C. Find the molecular mass of the hydrocarbon. Benzene has a Kf of 5.12 and a freezing points of 5.53 degrees C.

Not sure how to go about solving this problem? Thanks!

Use the freezing point depression formula.
dT = Kf*m
Substitute and solve for m = molality.

m = mols/kg solvent.
Substitute and solve for mols.

mols = grams/molar mass
You know mols and grams, solve for mola rmass.
