Question regarding colligative properties: Depression in freezing point..
A mixture which contains 0.55 grams of camphor and 0.045 grams of an organic solute freezes at 157oC. The solute contains 93.46% of Carbon
and 6.54% of Hydrogen by weight. What is the molecular formula of the compound ?
Given:
Molal freezing depression constant Kf of camphor = 37.7
Freezing point of camphor=178.4oC
I just do not want full solution. What I want are the hints in the correct directions. Please help !!
Thanks in advance..
