Answer: Molar mass of thyroxine is 776.5 g/mol.

Explanation:

\Delta T_f=K_f\times m

Mass of thyroxine = 0.455 g

Mass of benzene = 10g =0.01kg   (1 kg = 1000 g)

Formula used :  

Delta T_f=K_f\times\frac{\text{Mass of thyroxine}}{\text{Molar mass of thyroxine}\times \text{Mass of benzene in Kg}}

where,

\Delta T_f = change in freezing point = 0.300oC

K_f = freezing point constant = 5.12°Ckg/mol

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

0.300^0C=5.12^0Ckg/mol\times \frac{0.455g}}{\text{Molar mass of thyroxine}\times {0.01kg}

{\text{Molar mass of thyroxine}}=776.5g

Thus  molar mass of thyroxine is 776.5 g/mol.
