When 2.44 grams of benzoic acid C6H5COOH dissolved in 25 grams of benzene, it shows depression of freezing point equal to 2.2 K. Molal depression constant of benzene is 5.0 K kg mol-1. What is the percentage association of acid, if it forms dimer in solution?
  1. 50%
  2. 90%
  3. 95%
  4. 77%

Solution

Given ,

WB=2.44g , Kf=5 K kg mol-1WA =25g , Tf  =2.2K 
WB=2.44g , Kf=5 K kg mol-1WA =25g , Tf  =2.2K Now ,Tf =Kf ×WBMB ×1000WAMB=5×2.44×10002.2×25=221.8g/mol2C6H5COOH C6H5COOH 2If x is the degree of association , (1-x) mole ofbenzoic acid left undissociated and corresponding x2as associated moles of C6H5COOH at equilibrium.Total number of moles at equilibrium 1-x+x2=1-x2i=Normal molecular massAbnormal molecular mass1-x2 =122221.8x=0.900=90%
