Answer:
A. 266g/mol
Explanation:
A colligative property of matter is freezing point depression. The formula is:
ΔT = i×Kf×m <em>(1)</em>
Where:
ΔT is change in temperature (0°C - -0,14°C = 0,14°C)i is Van't Hoff factor (1 for a nonelectrolyte dissolved in water), kf is freezing point molar constant of solvent (1,86°Cm⁻¹) and m is molality of the solution (moles of solute per kg of solution). The mass of the solution is 816,0g
Replacing in (1):
0,14°C = 1×1,86°Cm⁻¹× mol Solute / 0,816kg
<em>0,0614 = mol of solute</em>.
As molar mass is defined as grams per mole of substance and the compound weights 16,0g:
16,0g / 0,0614 mol = 261 g/mol ≈ <em>A. 266g/mol</em>
I hope it helps!
