The common laboratory solvent diethyl ether (ether) is often used to purify substances dissolved in it. The vapor pressure of diethyl ether, CH3CH2OCH2CH3, is 463.57mmHg at 25C. In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 11.59 grams of the compound were dissolved in 216.0 grams of diethyl ether, the vapor pressure of the solution was 457.27mmHg. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight of this compound? (Diethyl ether =CH3CH2OCH2CH3=74.12g/mol ) Molecular weight = 9/mol 9 more group affempts remaining
