The correct answer is: $187.4 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}$
$\mathrm{d}=\frac{\mathrm{Z} \times \mathrm{M}}{\mathrm{V} \times \mathrm{N}_{\mathrm{A}}}=\frac{4 \times \mathrm{M}}{5.6 \times 10^{-23} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23}}$
or $22.24=\frac{4 \times M}{5.6 \times 6.02}$
$\mathrm{M}=187.43 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}$
