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
