Some of the solid solute adheres to the side of the test tube during the freezin

Question

Some of the solid solute adheres to the side of the test tube during the freezing point determination of the solution. As a result of the oversight, will the reported molar mass of the solute be too high, too low, or unaffected? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

Too low, this means that the effect will be caused by fewer particles than were thought, based on the mass. This would imply that the molarity is higher, meaning the mol. mass is calculated lower than it really is.
