The boiling point of chloroformCHCl3, is 61.700 °C at 1 atmosphere. Kb(chloroform) = 3.67 °C/m

In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 13.21 grams of the compound were dissolved in 288.5 grams of chloroform, the solution began to boil at 62.283 °C. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte.


What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound ?

Expert Solution
Step 1

First Calculate elevation in boiling point

Then ∆Tb= mole of Solute×1000×kb/mass of solvent

Mole = mass÷molar mass
