As we discussed in concept

Mathematical Expression of Depression in Freezing point -

\Delta T_{f}= K_{f}\: m
 

- wherein

m = molarity of solvent 

K_{f} = cryoscopic  constant

    molal depress const

Units = \frac{K-K_{g}}{mole}

 

 We know that \Delta T_{P}=K_{P}m

0.4 = 5.12 x m

where m = molality of solute

m=\frac{0.4}{5.12}

 molality=\frac{weight}{\frac{molecular weight}{weight of solvent in kg}}=

\frac{0.4}{5.12}\:=\:\frac{1}{molecular weight\times 0.05}

Molecular weight = \frac{5.12}{0.05\times 0.4} = 256\:g\:mol^{-1}


Option 1)

252 g/mol

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

256g/mol

This option is correct.

Option 3)

262 g/mol

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

356 g/mol

This option is incorrect.
