1.0 GRAMS of an electrolyte was dissolved in 29 grams of water, the resulting solution was found to have a molarity of 0.437 mol / L. The freezing point of the solution was determined to be -4.96°C. The freezing point depression constant for water is -1.86°C and pure water may be assumed to freeze at 0°C. If the molecular weight of the electrolyte is 179.7 g/mol and it takes 15 minutes to perform the experiment, how much water was used (grams) ?
