Detailed Solution

The given information is as follows below.

Tbo=353.23 K: Tb=354.11K

Elevation in boiling point of solution,

Tb=Tb-Tbo=354.11-353.23

Tb=0.88k

Weight of non-volatile solute, w =1.80g

Molar mass of solute, M.W =?

Weight of solvent (benzene), W =90g

Molal elevation constant for benzene, Kb=2.53 K.kg mol-1

Use the following formula to find the molar mass of non-volatile solute.

0.88=2.53×1.8m×100090

M.W of solute=20×2.530.88=57.5g
