Additional Questions for Report
1) Draw the molecular structure of sulfur. Is it a polar or non-polar molecule?
2) Explain why the freezing point depression takes place for naphthalene in the
presence of sulfur.
3) Suggest another method to determine the molar mass of macromolecules? Explain
why your method can work better than freezing point depression method.
