AI Generated Solution

To determine the molecular mass of a compound using cryoscopic measurements, we need to analyze the characteristics of the liquid that would be most suitable for this purpose. The key factors to consider are the freezing point and the enthalpy of fusion of the liquid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cryoscopic Measurements**: - Cryoscopic measurements are based on the depression of the freezing point of a solvent when a solute is dissolved in it. The extent of this depression is related to the number of solute particles in the solution. 2. **Key Factors in Cryoscopy**: ...
