A weak monobasic acid HA has . Use (solve the quadratic), molality molarity, and . Compare the and solutions. Which statements are correct?

  1. AThe degree of dissociation is larger in the solution than in the solution
  2. BThe ratio is closer to 1 for the solution than for the solution
  3. CIn the solution,
  4. DThe depression of freezing point of the solution is exactly one-quarter of that of the solution

Answer: A, B, C

Solving gives at and at (dilution favours dissociation). Then and , so is nearer 1 for the more concentrated solution. values are and ; the ratio is , not , because differs.
