A. Why does the Citral (boiling point 235 degrees C) distilled around 100 degrees C during stem distillation?

B. What is the simple and accurate way, other than density, to distinguish the organic phase from the aqueous phase?

Expert Solution

A. Because Many organic compounds tend to decompose at high sustained temperatures. Separation by distillation at the normal (1 atmosphere) boiling points is not an option, so steam distillation is used at lower temperature than boiling point of compound.

Citral get distilled at 100 degrees because that is the temperature at which water reached it boiling point and make steam. And Citral is distilled using this steam distillation.

B. Other than density, simple way of distinguishing aqueus phase from organic phase is adding a drop of layer to anhydrous copper sulphate, The aqueous layer will turn the white powder blue, whereas the organic layer should have no effect.

Answer, hope this helps you.

The boiling point elevation constant for water is 0.51 degrees C/m. What is the boiling point of a solution made by dissolving 21.6g of a non-ionizing solute with a molar mass of 103.5 g/mol in 187g of water?

Ethanol has a normal boiling point of 78.3 degrees celcius. Why is the normal boiling point...

Ethanol has a normal boiling point of 78.3 degrees celcius. Why is the normal boiling point higher than methanol but lower than iso-propanol (Normal boiling point = 82.3, heat of vaporization = 45.4)? Would you expect the heat of vaporization of ethanol to follow the same trend? Explain. AND Calculate the heat of vaporixation of cyclohexane using the normal boiling point of 80.7 degrees celcius. The vapor pressure of cyclohexane at 25.0 degrees celcius is 0.132 atm.
