Options:
  • A $2.5 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • B $2.0 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • C $0.85 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
  • D $1.17 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$

The correct answer is: $1.17 \mathrm{~K} \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\begin{aligned} & \Delta \mathrm{T}_{\mathrm{f}}=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}} \mathrm{m} \\ & 0.34=\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}} \times \frac{0.8}{64} \times \frac{1000}{43} \\ & \mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{f}}=1.169 \sim 1.17\end{aligned}$
