---

**Explanation for Calculation:**

To determine the molar mass of the non-electrolyte, you need to use the formula for osmotic pressure:

\[
\pi = i \cdot M \cdot R \cdot T
\]

Where:
- \( \pi \) is the osmotic pressure.
- \( i \) is the van't Hoff factor (which is 1 for non-electrolytes).
- \( M \) is the molarity of the solution.
- \( R \) is the ideal gas constant (0.08206 L·atm/mol·K).
- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin (K).

1. **Convert Temperature to Kelvin:**
   \[
   T(K) = 35.6 + 273.15 = 308.75 \, K
   \]

2. **Convert osmotic pressure to atm:**
   \[
   \pi(atm) = 599 \, mmHg \times \left(\frac{1 \, atm}{760 \, mmHg}\right) = 0.78816 \, atm
   \]

3. **Calculate molarity (M):**
   Molarity \( M \) can be found from:
   \[
   M = \frac{\pi}{R \cdot T}
   \]
   \[
   M = \frac{0.78816}{0.08206 \times 308.75} = 0.0313 \,  mol/L
