Question

The normal boiling point of benzene C₆H₆ is 80.100 °C and its K_bp value is 2.53 °C/m.

In a laboratory experiment, students synthesized a new compound and found that when 12.30 grams of the compound were dissolved in 246.0 grams of benzene, the solution began to boil at 80.427 °C. The compound was also found to be nonvolatile and a nonelectrolyte.

What is the molecular weight they determined for this compound?
