The vapour pressure above the solution drops from 233.7 Torr to 229.1 Torr when 82.3 g of the compound is dissolved at constant temperature. Determine the molar mass of the unknown compound. Assume no change in volume occurs upon dissolution.

A)323 g mol^-1
B)480 g mol^-1
C)414 g mol^-1
D)459 g mol^-1
E)508 g mol^-1

A)4.76 °C
B)4.17 °C
C)0.74 °C
D)1.33 °C
E)1.68 °C
