Carboxylic acids are known to form hydrogen bonded dimers of the type given below. The equilibrium constants ( K_ eq ) of the dissociation of certain dimers determined experimentally for different temperatures are given below. The plot of ₁₀ K_ eq vs (1 / T) is linear and the variation of the K_ eq can be expressed in the form ₁₀ K_ eq = A -( B / T) . The values of A and B are also given below. array |l|c|l|l|l| Acid

Options
