Question: In a freezing point experiment using lauric acid as a solvent the following values were obtained: Tf (lauric acid) = 43.2C Tf (with 0.75 g

In a freezing point experiment using lauric acid as a solvent the following values were obtained: Tf (lauric acid) = 43.2C Tf (with 0.75 g of solute in 4.00 g of lauric acid) = 40.6C

Use this data to calculate the molecular mass of the solute. (Lauric acid: Kf =3.9 Ckg/mol). Note that this solute is a nonelectrolyte.

Note: Please write neatly and clearly. Explain all the steps in detail.
