Shan collected some berries on her way back home. She asked Jon to investigate the source of the scent of the berries by subjecting them to steam distillation. During distillation, the temperature at the still head was recorded at 98.2 decrees C under normal atmosphere conditions. At this temperature, the vapor pressure of water is 707mmHg. At the end of distillation, Jon collected 145.0g of steam distillate. Afterwards, she performed liquid-liquid extraction using hexane as solvent on the distillate which yielded 67.7g of the oil.

  1. Calculate the molar mass of the unknown essential oil
