The freezing point of benzene decreases by 0.450C when 0.2 g of acetic acid is added to 20g of benzene. If acetic acid associates to form a dimer in benzene, percentage association of acetic acid in benzene will be: (Kf for benzene = 5.12 K kg mol–1)
80.4 %
74.6 %
94.6 %
64.6 %

Explanation

$$\Delta $$Tf = i $$ \times $$ Kf $$ \times $$ m

$$ \Rightarrow $$ 0.45 = i $$ \times $$ 5.12 $$ \times $$ $${{0.2 \times 1000} \over {60 \times 20}}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ i = 0.527

2CH3COOH ⇌ (CH3COOH)2
      1 - $$\alpha $$                   $${\alpha \over 2}$$

i = 1 - $$\alpha $$ + $${\alpha \over 2}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\alpha $$ = 0.946

$$ \therefore $$ % dissociation is 94.6%.
