When 18.6 g of a certain molecular compound X are dissolved in 30.0 g of benzene (C6H), the freezing point of the solution is measured to be 0.5 °C. Calculate the molar mass of X. If you need any additional information on benzene, use only what you find in the ALEKS Data resource. Also, be sure your answer has a unit symbol, and is rounded to the correct number of significant digits.
