Assume you recovered 0.120 mL of citral in this experiment. How many grams of lemon grass oil did you begin with if citral comprises 5.72% of the oil?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1.88 g

Explanation:

Considering:-

[tex]\%\ of\ the\ citral=\frac{Volume_{citral}}{Volume_{Sample}}\times 100[/tex]

Given that:-

% Citral = 5.72 %

Volume of the citral = 0.120 mL

So,

[tex]5.72=\frac{0.120\ mL}{Volume_{Sample}}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]Volume_{Sample}=\frac{0.120\times 100}{5.72}\ mL[/tex]

Volume of the grass oil sample = 2.10 mL

Also, Density of the lemon grass oil = 0.893 g/mL

Mass = Density*Volume = 0.893 g/mL*2.10 mL = 1.88 g

1.88 g of lemon grass oil did you begin with if citral comprises 5.72% of the oil.

Answer:

1.84 g/mL

Explanation:

We know that

percentage of citral = [tex]\frac{Volume of citral}{Volume of sample }[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{5.72}{100} =\frac{0.120}{V_{sample}}[/tex]

solving for V_sample we get 2.09 mL

Now density of the lemon grass oil = 0.88g/mL at room temp.

then mass in gm= Volume×Density= 2.09×0.88 =1.84 gram.
