Molar Mass by Freezing Point Depression
Conclusion: My Lab unsuccessfully found the molar mass of the unknown given to us in the lab. We were tasked with finding the molar mass of an unknown compound using the colligative property of Freezing Point Depression. The way we did this was first finding the temperature at which ice crystals form for just regular BHT. Luckily thanks to our TA we were given temperature probes so we could pinpoint exact temperatures. We found that the temperature at which crystallization of BHT was 68.9 Celsius in our lab. After finding temperature of BHT we were tasked with adding the solute cetyl acid to our BHT mixture. We then heated and melted the two substances
