Answer:

strong odor of lemon.

Explanation:

Citral or geranial (present in oils of lemon, lemongrass, etc.) is the aldehyde corresponding to the alcohol geraniol, from which it is produced on oxidation. Further oxidation of citral results in the formation of geranic acid. Citral is a liquid that boils at 230°C and that has a strong odor of lemon.
