Solution

The correct option is A 96.44
We know that
$K_{b} = \frac{Δ T_{b} \times W_{1} \times M w_{2}}{1000 \times W_{2}}$
First let’s calculate value of $K_{b} f o r C C l_{4}$ .
For $C C l_{4};$
$K_{b} = \frac{0.201 \times 50 \times 128}{1000 \times 0.2563} = 5.019 k k g m o l^{- 1}$
Now, for calculating mass of unknown solute, we can use the same value of $K_{b}$ .
$M w_{2} = \frac{1000 \times K_{b} \times W_{2}}{Δ T_{b} \times W_{1}}$
$\frac{1000 \times 5.019 \times 0.6216}{0.647 \times 50}$
$= 96.44$
