What will be the molar mass of a non-volatile solute if the vapour pressure of pure benzene is $450 \ mm \ Hg$ and it decreases to $400 \ mm \ Hg$ when $1.5 \ g$ of the solute is added to $30 \ g$ of benzene? (Atomic mass: $C=12, H=1$)

  • A
    $135.1 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
  • B
    $226.1 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
  • C
    $328.4 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
  • D
    $117.0 \ g \ mol^{-1}$
