Solute X (molecular substance) was added to a pure solvent and the freezing point depression was measured to be 7.0°C. Separately, the same amount of solute Y (molecular substance) was added to the same amount of pure solvent and the freezing point depression was measured to be 10.5°C. Which solute (X or Y) has the higher molar mass. Explain your rationale.
