A solution containing $\displaystyle 60$ g of a non-volatile solute in $\displaystyle 250$ g of water freezes at $\displaystyle 270.67$ K. Calculate the molar mass of the solute. ( $\displaystyle \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}$ of water = $\displaystyle 1.86$ K $\displaystyle \mathrm{kg} \mathrm{mol}^{-1}$ ).

\[\begin{aligned}
& \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{~m} \\
& \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}} \times \mathrm{W}_{\mathrm{B}} \times 1000}{\mathrm{~W}_{\mathrm{A}} \times \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}} \\
& =273 \cdot 15-270 \cdot 67=2 \cdot 48 \mathrm{~K} \\
& \mathrm{M}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{1 \cdot 86 \times 60 \times 1000}{250 \times 2 \cdot 48} \\
& =180 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}
\end{aligned}
