In the determination of molar mass of an unknown substance by ebullioscopic constant, 30 mL of acetone (C3H6O) was placed in a test tube with thermometer and glass tubing and subjected to water bath. Upon boiling, the temperature reads 56 degC. For the boiling point of unknown-acetone solution, you prepared the solution by mixing 1.60 g of unknown solute in the 30 mL acetone and subjected it again to water bath. The boiling temperature of the solution is 56.68 degC. The density of acetone = 0.9849 g/mL and the Kb of acetone = 1.67 degC/kg
