The freezing point of water, H2O, is 0.000 °C at 1 atmosphere. Kf(water) = 1.86 °C/m In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 11.94 grams of the compound were dissolved in 217.1 grams of water, the solution began to freeze at -1.702 °C. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound?
