Explain why an orgainc liquid vaporises below its boiling point when it undergoes steam distillation. |
| Answer» Solution :In STEAM distillation, sum of the vapour pressure of WATER and orgainc liquid become equal to the atmospheirc pressure. This means that both of them distill at a pressure much LOWER than the atmospheric pressure, i.e. both of them will vapourise at a tamperature which is LESS than their normal boiling POINTS. | |
