9.) Quinine was the first drug widely used to treat malaria, and it remains the treatment of choice for severe cases. A solution prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of quinine in 50.0 ml of ethanol has a freezing point 1.55°C below that of pure ethanol. Determine the molar mass of quinine.

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that depression in freezing point is given by.,

ΔTf = i Kf m

where,

ΔTf is the freezing point lowering and Kf is the freezing point constant, and m is the molality.

i (van't Hoff factor) = 1 since quinine is a non-electrolyte.
