Question

Assume you perfectly weighed out 0.2000 grams of cinnamon, and assume that the cinnamon contains 15 % essential oil. In principle, what volume of distillate would need to be collected in order to steam distill all of the oil? (assume the oil is 100% cinnamaldehyde) Assume you perfectly weighed out 0.2000 grams of cinnamon, and assume that the cinnamon contains 15 % essential oil.

Explanation / Answer

0.2000 grams of cinnamon would contain

0.2000 × 15 / 100

=0.03 grams of cinnamaldehyde

The density of this oil is 1.05g / ml

Density = mass / volume

Volume = mass/ density

volume = 0.03 / 1.05

Volume = 0.0286 ml

So the volume of distillate will be 0.0286 ml
