When 231. mg of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 65. g of benzene (CH), the freezing point of the solution is measured to be 4.5 °C. Calculate the molar mass of X If you need any additional information on benzene, use only what you find in the ALEKS Data resource. Also, be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.

Molar mass X = 18.2 g/mol

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of compound X = 231 mg = 0.231 grams

Mass of benzene = 65.0 grams

The freezing point of the solution is measured to be 4.5 °C.

Freezing point of pure benzene = 5.5 °C

The freezing point constant for benzene is 5.12 °C/m

Step 2: Calculate molality

ΔT = i*Kf*m

⇒ΔT = the freezing point depression = 5.5 °C - 4.5 °C = 1.0 °C

⇒i = the Van't hoff factor = 1

⇒Kf = the freezing point depression constant for benzene = 5.12 °C/m

⇒m = the molality = moles X / mass benzene

m = 1.0 / 5.12 °C/m

m = 0.1953 molal

Step 3: Calculate moles X

Moles X = molality * mass benzene

Moles X = 0.1953 molal * 0.065 kg

Moles X = 0.0127 moles

Step 4: Calculate molar mass X

Molar mass X = mass / moles

Molar mass X = 0.231 grams / 0.0127 moles

Molar mass X = 18.2 g/mol

explanation:

the major pests we deal with are insects, weeds and fungal diseases. a pesticide is a product, whether organic or chemical, used to kill the target pest. there are other techniques gardeners should use that can prevent the severe infestations that make the use of pesticides necessary
