The freezing point of 58.53 g of a pure solvent is measured to be 44.17 ºC. When 2.15 g of an unknown solute (assume the van 't Hoff factor = 1.0000) is added to the solvent the freezing point is measured to be 41.26 ºC. Answer the following questions ( the freezing point depression constant of the pure solvent is 7.77 ºC·kg solvent/mol solute). What is the molality of the solution? m How many moles of solute are present? mol What is the molecular weight of the solute? g/mol
