In the steam distillation of lemon grass, the mixture boils at 95.00C at 1 atm pressure. If the vapor pressure of water at this temperature is about 720.9 mm Hg: a. calculate the vapor pressure of citral at this temperature. b. calculate the mass of citral that distills for each 100 g of water which comes over. c. What is the composition (wt%) of the distillate? Use: MM of H2O = 18.02 g/mol MM of citral = 152.24 g/mol

Question

In the steam distillation of lemon grass, the mixture boils at 95.00C at 1 atm pressure. If the vapor pressure of water at this temperature is about 720.9 mm Hg:

a. calculate the vapor pressure of citral at this temperature.

b. calculate the mass of citral that distills for each 100 g of water which comes over.

c. What is the composition (wt%) of the distillate?

Use: MM of H2O = 18.02 g/mol

 MM of citral = 152.24 g/mol
