Benzoic acid has a higher molecular weight in benzene and a lower molecular weight in water because:

  • A
    Water has a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point than benzene.
  • B
    It dissociates to a greater extent in benzene than in water.
  • C
    It associates in water and dissociates in benzene.
  • D
    It dissociates in water and associates in benzene.
