Question

An unknown compound was obtained through steam distillation. At the end of distillation,

34.2578 g of the unknown compound was obtained wherein 50.0000 g of water co-
distilled with it. The vapor pressure of water and the compound during distillation were

determined to be 703 mmHg and 57 mmHg, respectively.

a. Determine the mole ratio of the unknown compound and water in the distillate.
b. Determine the molar mass of the unknown compound.
c. Identify the unknown compound from the list given below.

Possible Compounds               Molar Mass, g/mol
Acetophenone                               120.00
Cinnamaldehyde                            132.16
Citral                                               152.24
Limonene                                        136.24
