प्रश्न
A liquid with high boiling point decomposes on simple distillation but it can be steam distilled for its purification. Explain how is it possible?
उत्तर
Steam distillation is a special type of separation technique for temperature-sensitive materials such as natural organic compounds. Few organic compounds tend to decompose at higher temperatures and normal distillation does not fit for this purpose. So, water is added to the apparatus and the temperature of the compounds is depressed, evaporating them at lower temperature. Once the distillation is accomplished, the vapours are condensed and there occurs, the separation of the constituents at ease.

Assertion (A): Components of a mixture of red and blue inks can be separated by distributing the components between stationary and mobile phases in paper chromatography.
Reason (R): The coloured components of inks migrate at different rates because paper selectively retains different components according to the difference in their partition between the two phases.
You have a mixture of three liquids A, B and C. There is a large difference in the boiling points of A and rest of the two liquids i.e., B and C. Boiling point of liquids B and C are quite close.
