Question

Explain the abnormalities in the case of benzonic and Kcl in water?​

Answer 1

The molecular mass of KCl in aqueous medium has been observed to be almost half than expected and it has been explained as dissociation of KCl into K+ ions and Cl- ions when actual no. of particles become double and so become the colligative properties but since molecular mass is always inversely proportional to colligative property it becomes almost half.

In case of benzoic acid in benzene, association of molecules take place when they dimerise and their no. becomes almost half and so molecular mass doubles as a result
