AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the van't Hoff factor (i) of benzoic acid when it dimerizes in aqueous solution and how the experimental molecular weight varies compared to the normal molecular weight, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Dimerization**: - Benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) dimerizes in solution, meaning two molecules of benzoic acid combine to form one dimer. The reaction can be represented as: \[ 2 \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOH} \rightleftharpoons \text{(C}_6\text{H}_5\text{COOH)}_2 ...
