A solution containing $\displaystyle 8.0$ g of a non-volatile solute in $\displaystyle 100$ g of diethyl ether boils at $\displaystyle 36.86$ °C whereas pure diethyl ether boils at $\displaystyle 35.60$ °C. Determine the molar mass of the solute. \[\left(\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{b}} \text { for diethyl ether }=2.02 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}\right) \]
