Retinol is vitamin A and one of the components in multivitamin tablets. A 163.0 mg sample of retinol was dissolved in 1.000 g of chloroform (Kb = 3.630°C/m), increasing the boiling point of chloroform by 2.065°C.   Calculate the molar mass of retinol.   Retinol is 83.84% C, 10.58% H, and 5.58% O by mass. What is the molecular formula of retinol? Add the missing subscripts.
