) Adrenaline is the hormone that triggers the release of extra glucose molecules in
times of stress or emergency. A solution of 0.64 g of adrenaline in 36.0 g of CCl 4
elevates the boiling point by 0.49 °C. Calculate the approximate molar mass of
adrenaline from this data.

Given:
madrenaline = 0.64 g
mCCl4 = 36.0 g
ΔTb = 49 °C

Required:
Molar mass of Adrenaline

Solution:
1) Solve for Molality
ΔTb = Kbmi
ΔTb
m = kbi
0.49 °𝐶
m = 5.02 °𝐶−𝑘𝑔/𝑚𝑜𝑙 (1)
mol
m = 0.0976 kg

2) Convert 36.0g to kg
1kg
36.0g (1000g) = 0. 036kg

3) Solve for moles of solute

moles of solute
Molality (m) = kg of solvent
moles = (m)(kg of solvent)
mol
moles = 0.0976 kg (0.036 kg)
= 0.0035 mol

4) Solve for molar mass of Adrenaline

mass
moles = molar mass
mass
mm = moles
0.64g 𝐠
mm = 0.0035 mol = 182.8571𝐦𝐨𝐥 of Adrenaline
