Question

a-) Compound X is steam distilled at 92C under the pressure of 0.977 atm.
Amount of water in distillate is found to be 12.1023 g and amount of the compound X
is 19.4023 g. Determine the molecular weight of compound X. (Pw=0.746 atm at
92C)

b-) Determine the % error in your experiment if the actual molecular weight of the
compound X is 106.16 g/mol.

a) (20pts) Compound X is steam distilled at 92°C under the pressure of 0.977 atm.
Amount of water in distillate is found to be 12.1023 g and amount of the compound X
is 19.4023 g. Determine the molecular weight of compound X. (P°w=0.746 atm at
92°C)
b) (10pts) Determine the % error in your experiment if the actual molecular weight of the
compound X is 106.16 g/mol.
