How does dimerization of the solute affect the freezing point depression?

It would REDUCE the observed "freezing point depression......"

Explanation:

"Freezing point depression......" is a so-called "colligative property"; it depends on the NUMBER of species in solution. Should a solute dimerize, then the observed "freezing point depression" will be half that of the hypothetical monomer. Capisce?
