A solute A associates in benzene as with degree of association , so . Which of the following statements is/are correct?

  1. AThe observed depression of freezing point is smaller than that calculated for non-associated A.
  2. BFor complete association, .
  3. CThe observed elevation of boiling point is larger than that calculated for non-associated A.
  4. DFor , and the observed molar mass is times the normal molar mass.

Answer: A, B, D

Association lowers the particle count: . For , and . For , . Since with , both and are smaller than calculated, so the boiling point statement is wrong.
