A solution made by dissolving 150.0 g of an unknown compound in 425.0 mL of benzene to make a solution which has a freezing point 18.6 °C lower than that of pure benzene. Kf for benzene is 5.12 °C/m and the density of benzene is 0.877 g/mL. What was the molality of the solution? How many moles of the unknown compound were dissolved in the solution? What is the molar mass of the unknown compound?
