1.00g of non-electrolyte solute dissolved in 50 g of benzene lowered the point of benzene by 0.40K. The freezing point depression constant of benzene is 5.12 K kg/mol. Find the molar mass of the solute.

Solution
As ΔTf=Kf×m
where,
Kf= Freezing point depression constant;
ΔTf= Depression in freezing point;
m= molality
Now,
ΔTf=Kf×W2×1000M2×W1
where,
W2= mass of solute; W1= mass of benzene i.e. solvent; M2= molar mass of solute
