Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.122QP
Acetic acid is a polar molecule and can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Therefore, it has a high solubility in water. Yet acetic acid is also soluble in benzene (C6H6), a nonpolar solvent that lacks the ability to form hydrogen bonds. A solution of 3.8 g of CH3COOH in 80 g C6H6 has a freezing point of 3.5°C. Calculate the molar mass of the solute and suggest what its structure might be. (Hint: Acetic acid molecules can form hydrogen bonds between themselves.)
