**Title: Determining the Freezing Point of a Solution: A Practical Application**

**Objective:**
Learn how to determine the freezing point of a solution given specific solute and solvent properties.

**Problem Statement:**
Determine the freezing point (in °C) of a solution that contains 204 g of \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \) dissolved in 234 mL of acetic acid (density = 1.05 g/mL). Pure acetic acid has a freezing point of 16.6°C and a \( K_f \) (cryoscopic constant) = 3.90°C·kg/mol.

**Solution Approach:**

1. **Identify the Given Data:**
   - Mass of solute (Glucose, \( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)): \( m = 204 \) g
   - Volume of solvent (Acetic Acid): \( V = 234 \) mL
   - Density of solvent: \( \rho = 1.05 \) g/mL
   - Freezing point of pure acetic acid: \( T_f^0 = 16.6 \)°C
   - Cryoscopic constant (\( K_f \)): 3.90°C·kg/mol

2. **Calculate Moles of Solute:**
   - Molar mass of glucose (\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)): 180 g/mol
   \[
   \text{Moles of glucose} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} = \frac{204 \text{ g}}{180 \text{ g/mol}} = 1.133 \text{ mol}
   \]

3. **Calculate Mass of Solvent:**
   - Convert volume to mass using the density:
   \[
   \text{Mass of acetic acid} = \text{density} \times \text{volume} = 1.05 \frac{\text{g}}{\text{mL}} \times 234 \text{ mL} = 245.7 \text{ g} = 0.2457 \text{ kg}
   \]

4. **Determine Molality of the Solution:**
   - Molality (\( m \
