This wash step allows you to centrifuge the sample and collect a "clean" RNA pellet, after discarding the supernatant that contained contaminating salts and proteins.
When isolating and purifying RNA, 75% ethanol is used as a wash solution because RNA is a precipitate (solid) in this percentage of ethanol, while most proteins and salts remain in solution (are soluble). At a lower % ethanol, both the RNA and the proteins would be soluble, so you would not be able to separate them. At a higher % ethanol, both the RNA and salts would remain in the pellet, so you would not be able to separate the salts from your RNA.
Prior to the wash step, you probably added 100% ethanol to your sample, so the final total concentration of ethanol was 75%. This step is where the RNA precipitates out of solution. You would then centrifuge the sample and discard the supernatant, as above. In the wash step, you are merely using the same solution (75% ethanol) to wash the RNA pellet you created in the previous step.

ammonium acetae use to percipitate DNA from water.
Cold ethanol or isopropanol is used to precipitate the plasmid DNA, DNA is insoluble in alcohol and clumps or clings together. Centrifuging will cause the precipitate to form a pellet which can be decanted from the unwanted supernatant. Where as if compared with RNA isolation isopropanol is less efficient in precipitating RNA, where in presence of Lithium chloride or ammonium ions can give a good yield
I hesitate to say that it literally can't be done, but ethanol dissolves things that water doesn't and the whole point of steam distillation is that the thing you're steam distilling needs to not be very soluble in water, so at best there's no real benefit from adding ethanol and at worst you can't separate your desired product out of the ethanol/water mix.If you're not trying to separate it out, then ... you're not really doing a "steam distillation", you're doing an extraction. Gin, for example, is made by allowing the vapors from an ordinary distillation of ethanol/water (to increase ethanol content) to pass over/through substances like juniper berries to pick up some of the essential oils from these and give the resultant product flavor.
the main reason why ethanol burns differently then ethanol and water mix is mainly because when you add the water to the ethanol you are making the ethanol less potent so it will burn weaker.
The density of 70% ethanol allows RNA settlement or say sedimentation in the vial.
to precipitate protein.
In a DNA extraction, the purpose of a buffer is to solubilize DNA as well as RNA. Because of this, it prevents the DNA for degrading.

chloroform is used to denature protein and settle it in the bottom during rna extraction ,also it helps to form organic and inorganic layers in which rna is dissolved in inorganic layer.
RNAse destroys the RNA and hence RNAse contamination is a problem in RNA extraction as it breaks down RNA. RNAse enzyme is removed by using RNAse inhibitor or precautions like wearing of gloves, autoclaving tips , using RNAse free water/DEPC treated water is done while performing RTPCR

Isopropanol precipitates the RNA. Up to that point it's generally in solution. Centrifuging the tube after this step should leave a very faint but generally visible white smudge/pellet of RNA. The ethanol steps that follow the isopropanol precipitation are simple washes.

"b -mercaptoethanol is used to help to destroy RNases that may be present and will degrade the RNA. b -mercaptoethanol is a reducing agent that will reduce the disulfide bonds of the RNases, thereby destroying the conformation and the functionality of the enzyme". It comes from http://www.norgenbiotek.com/index.php?id=faqs_rnakits
Chloroform causes proteins to become denatured and become soluble in the organic phase or interphase, while nucleic acids remain in the aqueous phase.
