### Freezing Point Depression Calculation

When 131. g of glycine \((C_2H_5NO_2)\) are dissolved in 1350. g of a certain mystery liquid \(X\), the freezing point of the solution is 2.00 °C less than the freezing point of pure \(X\).

**Question:**
Calculate the mass of iron(III) nitrate \((Fe(NO_3)_3)\) that must be dissolved in the same mass of \(X\) to produce the same depression in freezing point. The van't Hoff factor \(i = 3.04\) for iron(III) nitrate in \(X\).

Be sure your answer has a unit symbol, if necessary, and round your answer to 3 significant digits.

### Solution Steps:

1. **Determine the Molal Freezing Point Depression Constant (\(K_f\))**:
Given data for glycine:
   - Mass of glycine = 131. g
   - Molar mass of glycine (C₂H₅NO₂) ≈ 75.07 g/mol
   - Depression in freezing point = 2.00 °C
   
   Calculate the molality (m):
   \[
   \text{Molality (m)} = \frac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kg of solvent}} = \frac{\frac{131\, \text{g}}{75.07\, \text{g/mol}}}{1.350\, \text{kg}} \approx 1.292 \text{ mol/kg}
   \]
   
   Using the freezing point depression equation:
   \[
   \Delta T_f = K_f \cdot m \implies K_f = \frac{\Delta T_f}{m} = \frac{2.00\, \text{°C}}{1.292\, \text{mol/kg}} \approx 1.548\, \text{°C·kg/mol}
   \]

2. **Calculate the Required Mass of \(Fe(NO_3)_3\)**:
   - Molar mass of \(Fe(NO_3)_3\) ≈ 241.86 g/mol
   - Molality required to produce the same depression: m = \(\frac{2.00 °C}{1.548°C·kg/mol} ≈ 1.292 \text{ mol/kg}\
