A liquid compound starts decomposing well before its boiling point under normal pressure. How will you purify it ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To purify a liquid compound that decomposes before reaching its boiling point under normal pressure, we can use the technique of distillation under reduced pressure. Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the process: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: The liquid compound decomposes before it reaches its boiling point at normal atmospheric pressure. This means that if we try to heat it to its boiling point, it will break down rather than evaporate. 2. **Choosing the Right Method**: Since the compound decomposes at its boiling point, we need a method that allows us to vaporize the compound without reaching that temperature. The best method for this situation is **distillation under reduced pressure** (also known as vacuum distillation). ...
