When 12.2 g of benzoic acid is dissolved in 100 g of water, the freezing point of solution was found to be -0.93 °CKfH2O=1.86 K kg mol-1. The number n of benzoic acid molecules associated (assuming 100% association) is _.

Solution

ΔTf=i×kf×m

0--0.93=i×1.86×12.2122×100×1000

i=0.931.86=0.5

i=1+1n-1α

12=1+1n-1×1

n=2
