Any substance that contains only one type of atom is referred to as an element.Elements are the "building blocks" of everything. Each element only contains one type of atom. If substances carry more than one type of atom, then they are compounds.

The freezing point depression is calculated through the equation,
ΔT = (kf) x m
where ΔT is the difference in temperature, kf is the freezing point depression constant (1.86°C/m), and m is the molality. Substituting the known values,
5.88 = (1.86)(m)
m is equal to 3.16m
Recall that molality is calculated through the equation,
molality = number of mols / kg of solvent
number of mols = (3.16)(1.25) = 3.95 moles
Then, we multiply the calculated amount in moles with the molar mass of ethylene glycol and the answer would be 244.9 g.
