In an experiment, $1 \ g$ of a non-volatile solute was dissolved in $100 \ g$ of acetone (molar mass $= 58 \ g/mol$) at $298 \ K$. The vapour pressure of the solution was found to be $192.5 \ mm \ Hg$. Calculate the molecular weight of the solute. (Vapour pressure of pure acetone $= 195 \ mm \ Hg$) (in $g/mol$)
