In a solution with carbon tetrachloride as the solvent, the compound VCl₄ undergoes dimerization:

When 6.6834 g VCl₄ is dissolved in 100.0 g carbon tetrachloride, the freezing point is lowered by 5.97^οC. Calculate the value of the equilibrium constant for the dimerization of VCl₄ at this temperature. (The density of the equilibrium mixture is 1.696 g/cm³ , and K_f = 29.8^οC kg/mol for CCl₄.)
