When a solution is made from 26.6 g of an unknown nonelectrolyte dissolved in 186.2 g of solvent, the solution boils at 65.45 °C. The boiling point of the pure solvent and its K, are 60.17 °C and 2.27 °C/m, respectively. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown nonelectrolyte in g/mol. Report your answer to TWO places past the decimal.

Question
When a solution is made from 26.6 g of an unknown nonelectrolyte dissolved in 186.2 g of solvent, the solution boils at 65.45 °C. The boiling point of the pure solvent and its K, are 60.17 °C and 2.27 °C/m, respectively. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown nonelectrolyte in g/mol. Report your answer to TWO places past the decimal.
Expert Solution
Step 1

The given data is as follows:          

The mass of unknown nonelectrolyte = 26.6 g

The mass of solvent = 186.2 g

The boiling point of solution Tb65.45 °C

The boiling point of pure solvent Tb°60.17 °C

The molar elevation constant Kb=2.27 °C/m

The molar mass of unknown nonelectrolyte = ?
