Q. In steam distillation of toluene, the pressure of toluene in vapour is

AIPMTAIPMT 2001Organic Chemistry – Some Basic Principles and Techniques

Solution:

In steam distillation of toluene, the pressure of
toluene in vapour is less than pressure of barometer,
because it is carried out when a solid or liquid is
insoluble in water and is volatile with steam but the
impurities are non-volatile.
