One synthetic preparation of aniline involves reducing nitrobenzene with iron and HCL, and then steam distilling the resultant aniline at 99C. How much aniline codistills with each gram of water during steam distillation?
I do not know how to get the molecular weight for the aniline in this problem.
I know that
mass oil/mass water = (Poil)(MW oil) + (Pwater)(MW water) and that the Vapor pressure of water at 99 °C = 733 mmHG, so all I'm really missing is the Molecular weight but how can i solve it??
