Explanation / Answer

1. The mass of unknown added to solution 1 = 13.9161 - 13.2459 = 0.6702 g

2. The mass of unknown added to solution 2 = 13.2459 - 12.7459 = 0.5 g

3. The freezing point depression of solution 1 = 50.1 - 53.1 = -3 oC

4. The freezing point depression of solution 2 = 48.1 - 53.1 = -5 oC

5. The freezing point depression constant for p-dichlorobenzene = 7.10 oC/m

molality of solution 1 = (0.6702 g/M1)/9.53 g = 0.070325/M1 m, where M1 is the molecular weight of unknown in solution 1

From freezing point depression, -3 oC = -7.10 oC/m * 0.070325/M1 m

Therefore, M1 = 166.44 g/mol

6. molality of solution 2 = (0.5/M1)/9.53 g = 0.052466/M2 m, where M2 is the molecular weight of unknown in solution 2

From freezing point depression, -5 oC = -7.10 oC/m * 0.052466/M2 m

Therefore, M2 = 74.50 g/mol

7. The average molecular weight of unknown = (166.44+74.50)/2 = 120.47 g/mol
