    0.5 molal solution of a solute in benzene shows a depression in freezing point equal to 2 K. Molal depression constant for benzene is\[5\text{ }K\text{ }kg\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]. If the solute forms dimer in benzene, what is the % association?

    A)  40    

    B)  50    

    C)  60    

    D)  80

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Given, molality of solution,\[m=0.6\text{ }m\] \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=2K\] \[{{K}_{f}}=5\,K\,kg\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\] % of association, \[\alpha =?\] Step I Calculation of vant Hoff factor (i) \[\Delta {{T}_{f}}=i{{K}_{f}}M\] \[i=\frac{\Delta {{T}_{f}}}{{{K}_{f}}M}\] \[i=\frac{2K}{5\,K\,kg\,mo{{l}^{-1}}\times 0.5\,m}\] \[i=\frac{4}{5}\] Step II Calculation of % association of acid . As solute form dimer in benzene, i.e.   \[2A{{A}_{2}}\] Therefore, value of\[x=2\] \[\alpha =\frac{i-1}{1/x-1}\] \[\alpha =\frac{4/5-1}{1/2-1}=0.4\] \[\therefore \]% of \[a=0.4\times 100=40%\]
