This problem handles<em> boiling-point elevation</em>, which means we will use the formula:

ΔT = Kb * m

Where ΔT is the difference of Temperature between boiling points of the solution and the pure solvent (Tsolution - Tsolvent). Kb is the ebullioscopic constant of the solvent (2.64 for benzene), and m is the molality of the solution.

Knowing that benzene's boiling point is 80.1°C, we <u>solve for m</u>:

Tsolution - Tsolvent = Kb * m

80.23 - 80.1 = 2.64 * m

m = 0.049 m

We use the definition of molality to <u>calculate the moles of azulene</u>:

0.049 m = Xmoles azulene / 0.099 kgBenzene

Xmoles azulene = 4.87 x10⁻³ moles azulene

We use the mass and the moles of azulene to<u> calculate its molecular weight</u>:

0.640 g / 4.875 x10⁻³ mol = 130.28 g/mol

<em>A molecular formula that would fulfill that molecular weight</em> is C₁₀H₁₀. So that's the result of solving this problem.

The actual molecular formula of azulene is C₁₀H₈.
