$2 \ g$ of benzoic acid $(M_w = 122 \ g/mol)$ dissolved in $25 \ g$ of $C_6H_6$ shows a depression in freezing point equal to $1.62 \ K$. Given $K_f (C_6H_6) = 4.9 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. If the acid forms a dimer in the solution,then the percentage association of the acid is $......... \%$.

What is association? What is dissociation?

Pure benzene freezes at $5.3^oC$. $A$ solution of $0.223 \ g$ of $C_6H_5CH_2COOH$ in $4.49 \ g$ of benzene freezes at $4.47^oC$. Given $K_f = 5.12 \ K \ kg/mol$,what can be concluded from this?

$75.2 \ g$ of phenol is added to $1 \ kg$ of solvent. The depression in freezing point is $7 \ K$. If phenol undergoes dimerization,calculate the percentage of association. $(K_f = 14 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1})$

Assertion : The molecular weight of acetic acid determined by depression in freezing point method in benzene and water was found to be different.
Reason : Water is polar and benzene is nonpolar.
