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

The liquid compound can be purified by steam distillation. For details, consult section 12.38
Note : Answer the questions 46 to 48 on the basis of information given below :
"stability of carbocation depends upon the electron releasing inductive effect of groups adjacent to positively charged carbon atom involvement of neighbouring groups in hyperconjugation and resonance".
