Explanation / Answer

C.

3. Mass of cyclohexane in solution (kg) = 10.14 g/1000 = 0.01014 kg

4. moles of solute

delta Tf = m x kf = (moles of solute / kg of solvent) x kf

m = molality

3.04 = moles of solute x 20 / 0.01014

moles of solute = 1.54 x 10^-3 mols

5. mass of solute in solution = 0.255 g

6. molar mass of solute

moles = mass of solute / molar mass

molar mass of solute = mass of solute / moles of solute

                                  = 0.255 g / 1.54 x 10-3 moles

                                  = 165.584 g/mol
