Question
Chapter 4.6, Problem 6E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:Consequence of vapor pressure of sample to be half of that of citral on amount of distillate required per mole of product should be determined.
Concept introduction:Steam distillation is technique that is used to separate and purify volatile compounds either immiscible or almost immiscible in water. This method makes use of codistillation of mixture of water and other organic liquids. This can also be applied for separation and purification of some organic solids.

Iodine solution is added to a small amount of an alcohol, followed by just enough sodium hydroxide solution to remove the color of the iodine. If nothing happens in the cold, it may be necessary to warm the mixture very gently. A positive result is the appearance of a very pale yellow precipitate of triiodomethane (previously known as iodoform): CHI3, which apart from its color, can also be recognized by its faintly "medical" smell. It is used as an antiseptic on the sort of sticky plasters you put on minor cuts. **Explain the mechanism of iodoform reaction in an assumption that the iodine/sodium hydroxide solution was used for the reaction.
