What is abnormal molar mass?

For a $1.5 \, m$ aqueous solution of $Ca(NO_3)_2$,the observed molar mass is $65.4 \, g \, mol^{-1}$ and the theoretical molar mass is $164 \, g \, mol^{-1}$. The degree of dissociation is .............

Benzoic acid undergoes dimerization in benzene. $x \ g$ of benzoic acid (molar mass $122 \ g \ mol^{-1}$) is dissolved in $49 \ g$ of benzene. The depression in freezing point is $1.12 \ K$. If the degree of association of the acid is $88 \%$,what is the value of $x$? ($K_f$ for benzene $= 4.9 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$)

If $0.15 \ m$ aqueous solution of $KCl$ freezes at $-0.51^{\circ} C$,calculate the van't Hoff factor of $KCl$ (cryoscopic constant of water is $1.86 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$).

When $2.44 \ g$ of benzoic acid $(C_6H_5COOH)$ is dissolved in $25 \ g$ of benzene,it shows a depression of freezing point equal to $2.2 \ K$. The molal depression constant of benzene is $5.0 \ K \ kg \ mol^{-1}$. What is the percentage association of the acid,if it forms a dimer in the solution (in $\%$)?
