If a liquid compound decomposes at its boiling point, which method (s) can you choose for its purification. It is known that the compound is stable at low pressure, steam volatile and insoluble in water

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

If a compound decomposes at its boiling point but is steam volatile, water-insoluble and stable at low pressure, steam distillation can be used for its purification. This technique is applied to separate substances which are steam volatile and immiscible with water
