Phenol associates in benzene to a certain extent to form a dimer. A solution containing `20xx10^(-1)` kg phenol in 1 kg of benzene has its freezing pint depressed by 0.69 K. Calculate the fraction of phenol that has dimerised. `"K"_("f")" for benzene"=5.12" kg mol"^(-1)"k"`.

Answer» Correct Answer - `a=0.7333`
`Delta"T"_("f")=[1+(1/("n")-1)alpha]"K"_("f")("W"_("solute")xx1000)/("m"_("solute")xx"W"_("solvent"))`
`0.69=[1+(1/("2")-1)alpha](5.12xx20xx1000)/(94xx1000)`
`alpha=0.7333`
