2.0 g of benzoic acid dissolved in 25 g of benzene shows a depression in freezing point of 1.62 K. Molal depression constant \(K_f\) of benzene is \(4.9\text{ K kg mol}^{-1}\). What is the percentage association of the acid?

  1. A \(96.8 \%\)
  2. B \(46.8 \%\)
  3. C \(99.2 \%\)
  4. D \(69.2 \%\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(99.2 \%\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m_{\text{obs}} = \frac{\Delta T_f}{K_f} = \frac{1.62 \text{ K}}{4.9 \text{ K kg mol}^{-1}} = 0.3306 \text{ mol kg}^{-1}\) \(M_{\text{benzoic acid}} = 122 \text{ g mol}^{-1}\)…
