Camphor, C10H16O, melts at 179.8˚C, it has particularly large freezing point depression constant, Kf = 40.˚C/molal. When 0.186 g of an organic substance of unknown molar mass is dissolved in 22.01 g of liquid camphor, the freezing point of the mixture is found to be 176.7˚C. What is the approximate molar mass of the solute? Tf= 179.8° C and Kf= 40. °C/molal
