The correct answer is:
$85 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Delta T_f & =K_f m=K_f \times \frac{W_2}{M_2} \times \frac{1000}{w_1} \\
1 \cdot 2 & =\frac{5 \cdot 12 \times 2 \times 1000}{M_2 \times 100} \\
M_2 & =85 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}
\end{aligned}
$$
\begin{aligned}
\Delta T_f & =K_f m=K_f \times \frac{W_2}{M_2} \times \frac{1000}{w_1} \\
