Answer

$1.8\times10^{2}\,g/mol$

Work Step by Step

$\Delta T_{f}=1.8^{\circ}C$ $K_{f}=1.86\frac{^{\circ}C\,kg\,solvent}{mol\,solute}$ Molality $m=\frac{\Delta T_{f}}{K_{f}}=\frac{1.8}{1.86}\frac{mol\,solute}{kg\,solvent}=0.96774\frac{mol\,solute}{kg\,solvent}$ $m=\frac{\text{Moles solute}}{\text{Kilograms solvent}}\implies \text{Moles solute}=m\times\text{Kilograms solvent}$ $=(0.96774\times0.1000)mol=0.096774\,mol$ Molar mass= $\frac{\text{Mass in grams}}{\text{Number of moles}}=\frac{17.5\,g}{0.096774\,mol}=1.8\times10^{2}\,g/mol$
