The boiling point of benzene, C6H6, is 80.100 °C at 1 atmosphere. K₁ (benzene) = 2.53 °C/m In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 11.45 grams of the compound were dissolve in 248.8 grams of benzene, the solution began to boil at 80.428 °C. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non- electrolyte. What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound? || g/mol
