The correct answer is: 20.96

Depression in freezing point is a colligative property.Hence, it depends on the number of solute particles.

ΔTf=Kf×m

m=Molality

ΔTf=Freezing point of solvent-Freezing point of solution

ΔTf=1.0C

ΔTf=1.88×m1.0=1.88×x78×1000500x=20.96 g

Hence, the weight of non-volatile solid is 20.96grams
