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 H20 = 18.02 g/mol
MM of citral = 152.24 g/mol
