The mass of cyclohexane that was dispensed can be calculated. The density of cyclohexane is 0.779 g/mL.

Equation

The values for Tf° and Tf can be determined from the plots.

The molar mass, and thus the molecular weight, of the unknown compound can also be calculated. For cyclohexane, Kf = 20.2 °C kg/mole of solute.

Equation

Equation

molar mass = ? g/mol

molecular weight = ? amu

The molecular weights of the possible compounds are:

The value determined experimentally for the molecular weight of the unknown compound is closest to the literature value for naphthalene.

The percent error can be calculated.
