Molar mass....Please HElp
« on: January 23, 2010, 03:50:06 PM »
A 1.178 sample of an unknown substance was dissolved in 200.0 mL of cyclohexane.  The density of cyclohexane is 0.779g/mL.  The freezing point depression is 3.6oC. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown substance.

If you were given the molar mass, there would be no problem. Do you know anything about freezing point depression? (Was this in class or some random problem you found?)
