In benzene, acetic acid undergoes dimerisation while in water, acetic acid remains in monomeric state, so K text benzene >K text water

Q. Which of the following is correct for the given equilibrium?

(Equilibrium bb for the reaction in water and benzene are $K_{water}$ and $K_{benzene}$ respectively)

$K_{water} > K_{benzene}$

$K_{water} < K_{benzene}$

$K_{water} = K_{benzene}$

None of these

In benzene, acetic acid undergoes dimerisation while in water, acetic acid remains in monomeric state, so

$K_{benzene} > K_{water}$
