Benzoic acid undergoes dimerization in benzene. $x \ g$ of benzoic acid (molar mass $122 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) is dissolved in $49 \ g$ of benzene. The depression in freezing point is $1.12 \ K$. If the degree of association of the acid is $88 \%$,what is the value of $x$? ($K_f$ for benzene $= 4.9 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)

  • A
    $2.44$
  • B
    $1.22$
  • C
    $3.66$
  • D
