Question

The molal freezing point constant(Kf) for acetic acid is 3.90 C/m. When 31.5 grams of unknown solute is dissolved in 650 grams of acid the freezing point is lowered by 0.79 what is the molar mass

Answers

We must assume this is a non-volatile, non-ionizable solute.
delta T = Kf*m
Substitute and solve for m

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

Then mols = grams/molar mass. You know grams and mols; solve for molar mass.
