Expert Solution
Step 1

To calculate the molal freezing point depression constant Kƒ of substance X, we first need to calculate the freezing point depression ΔTf caused by adding 16 g of urea to 350 g of X.

ΔTf = Kf·m·i

where Kf is the molal freezing point depression constant, m is the molality of the urea solution, and i is the van't Hoff factor, which is the number of particles into which the solute dissociates in the solution.
