Considering acetic acid dissociates in water,its dissociation constant is $6.25 \times 10^{-5}$. If $5 \ mL$ of acetic acid is dissolved in $1 \ L$ water,the solution will freeze at $-x \times 10^{-2} \ {}^{\circ}C$,provided pure water freezes at $0 \ {}^{\circ}C$.
$x = . . . . . . . . .$ (Nearest integer)
Given: $(K_{f})_{\text{water}} = 1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$.
Density of acetic acid is $1.2 \ g \ mL^{-1}$.
Molar mass of water $= 18 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Molar mass of acetic acid $= 60 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Density of water $= 1 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.
Acetic acid dissociates as:
$CH_3COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^{-} + H^{+}$
