Detailed Solution

Depression in freezing point, ΔTf=Kfm                                (where, m = molality)=5.12×0.223×10004.4×136[∵ mol. w.t. of phenylacetic acid =136]=5.12×0.372=1.91∘C∴Theoretical ΔTf=1.91 Actual ΔTf=5.3∘C−4.47∘C=0.83∘C∴           i=0.831.91=0.43 ∵                  i<1∴Association will take Place.Th1s, it can be said that phenylacetic acid dimerises in benzene.
