Explain why an organic liquid vapourises at a temperature below its boiling point in steam distillation.

Assertion : The boiling point of chloroform-acetone solution is larger than expected from ideal behaviour. Reason : The forces of attraction between unlike molecules are stronger than those between like molecules in the solution. This results in lower vapour pressure as compared to an ideal solution which is responsible for the higher boiling point.
