Question

The elemental analysis of an organic solid extracted from gum arabic (a gummy substance used in adhesives, inks, and pharmaceuticals) showed that it contained 40.040.0 percent C,6.7\mathrm{C}, 6.7 percent H\mathrm{H}, and 53.353.3 percent O\mathrm{O}. A solution of 0.650 g0.650 \mathrm{~g} of the solid in 27.8 g27.8 \mathrm{~g} of the solvent diphenyl gave a freezing-point depression of 1.56C1.56^{\circ} \mathrm{C}. Calculate the molar mass and molecular formula of the solid. ( KfK_{\mathrm{f}} for diphenyl is 8.00C/m8.00^{\circ} \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}.)
