Question

in steam distillation of aniline, function of steam is??​

Answer 1

Steam Distillation: This technique is used for separating substances which are immiscible with water, volatile insteam & having high vapour pressure at the boiling temperature of water. ... Hence the mixture of two immiscible liquid will boil at a lower temperature than the normal boiling point.

Answer 2

increase -the vapor pressure of the immiscible alinine and water is higher than alinine " vapor pressure,so the immiscible liquid boil together at the boiling point of water,due to steam vapor pressure combining with aniline vapor pressure to raise the total vapor pressure and cause alinine and water to co- distill
