    100.98 g/mol

    Explanation:

    Solution:

    1) Determine temperature change:

    48.1 - 35.8 = 12.3 °C

    2) Determine how many moles of the compound dissolved:

    Δt = i Kf m

    1.674 °C = (1) (9.8 °C kg mol¯1) (x / 0.010009 kg)

    9.8 °C = (979.12 °C mol¯1) (x)

    x = 0.010009 mol

    3) Determine molecular weight:

    1.0108 g / 0.010009 mol = 100.98 g/mol
