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.
As the liquid compound decomposes at its boiling point which means that the compound is heat sensitive, hence we use “Steam distillation” for its purification.
Steam distillation is a type of distillation, which is specially done for the purification of the temperature sensitive material like natural aromatic compounds etc.
