The boiling point of diethyl ether, CH3CH20CH,CH3, is 34.500 °C at 1 atmosphere. Kp(diethyl ether) = 2.02 °C/m In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 13.52 grams of the compound were dissolved in 231.3 grams of diethyl ether, the solution began to boil at 34.933 °C. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a non-electrolyte. What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound ? g/mol

Boiling Point Elevation/Freezing Point Depression
T = m K
where, for freezing point depression:
T = T(pure solvent) - T(solution)
and for boiling point elevation:
T = T(solution) - T(pure solvent)
m | = (# moles solute / Kg solvent) |
Kb | = boiling point elevation constant. |
Kf | = freezing point depression constant. |
Kb and Kf depend only on the SOLVENT. Below are some common values. Use these values for the calculations that follow.
Solvent | Formula | Kb(°C / m) | Kf(°C / m) |
Water | H2O | 0.512 | 1.86 |
Ethanol | CH3CH2OH | 1.22 | 1.99 |
Chloroform | CHCl3 | 3.67 | |
Benzene | C6H6 | 2.53 | 5.12 |
Diethyl ether | CH3CH2OCH2CH3 | 2.02 |
