Menthol is a crystalline substance with a peppermint taste and odor. When 0.881 g of menthol is dissolved in 25.0 g of cyclohexane, the freezing point of the solution is lowered by 4.70 "C. The freezing point and Kf constant for cyclohexane can be found here. can be found here Calculate the molar mass of menthol. Number g/mol

Explanation / Answer

molality of menthol=(0.881/M)/0.025=35.24/M

Freezing point depression=mKf=35.24/M*20.8=4.70

M=155.95=156
