Solution

Dear Student

ΔTb = i*molality of solution * Kb
Kb =3.28 K kg mol-1
ΔTb =0.48K
Assuming the value of i to be 1 (since nothing is specified)
the molality of solution = ΔTb / Kb = 0.48 / 3.28 = 0.146 mol kg-1
molality = mass of solute/(molar mass of solute * mass of solvent (in kg))
0.146 = mass of solute / (256* 75*10-3)
Hence mass of solute = 0.146*256* 0.075 gram = 2.8 grams
