Freezing point is supposed to go down. It went up. Bad data. Means nothing to me.

If it had gone down then how would we calculate it

delta T = Kf*m
Substitute for delta T and Kf and solve for m = molality
<b>In your case delta T is +1 and kg solvent is 0.050.</b>
m = mols/kg solent
You have m and kg solvent; solve for mols.
mol = grams/molar mass. You have mol and grams, solve for molar mass.
