Concept Introduction:
By using the Cryoscopy method, the molar mass of solute can be calculated as follows:
Step-1: The observed freezing point depression,
Step-2: The amount of solute (in moles) in the sample is calculated by multiplying the molality by the mass of solvent (in kilograms).
Step-3: The molar mass of the solute is calculated by dividing the given mass of solute (in grams) by the calculated amount in moles.
