Question:

Determination of the molar mass of acetic acid in benzene using freezing point depression is affected by: dissociation, association, partial ionization, complex formation

complex formation

association

dissociation

partial ionization

Solution:

Determination of the molar mass of acetic acid in benzene using freezing point depression is affected by association. In benzene solution, two molecules of acetic acid associate to form one molecule. Hence, the observed molar mass will be twice the actual molar mass.
