Q.
Find out the molecular weight of C6H5COOH in the case where, 1.22gC6H5COOH is added into the solvent benzene and interpret the result.
In 100g benzene, ΔTb=0.13 and kb=2.6Kg/mol .
ΔTb=0.13=(2.6)10001001.22/M 0.13=2.6×M1.2210 M=2.6×0.131.22×10 =244 g/mole
This value of molar mass suggest that benzoic acid(C6H5 COOH) is dimerised in benzene
