Phenol (C6H5OH) is partially dimerized in the solvent bromoform. When 2.58 g of phenol is dissolved in 100 g of bromoform, the bromoform freezing point is lowered by 2.37°C. Pure bromoform freezes at 8.3°C and has kf = 14.1°C kg/mol. Calculate the equilibrium constant Km for the dimerization reaction of phenol in bromoform at 6°C, assuming an ideally dilute solution.
