Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 3.88

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{f}}=\frac{\mathrm{RT}_{\mathrm{f}}^2 \mathrm{M}_1}{1000 \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}} ; \Delta \mathrm{H}_{\mathrm{f}}=\text { latent heat of fusion }=180 \mathrm{~J} / \mathrm{g} \\ & =\frac{8.314 \times(290)^2 \times 1}{1000 \times 180}…
