A 0.400-g sample of an unknown compound is dissolved in 20.0 mL of cyclohexane (density = 0.779 g/mL), and the solution has a freezing point of 4.3°C. Pure cyclohexane has a freezing point of 6.8°C and a freezing point depression constant, K = 20.5 °C•kg/mol. Calculate the molar mass of the compound.
