(a) distillation
(b) crystallisation
(c) distillation under reduced pressure
(d) steam distillation
Thinking Process
Steam distillation technique is applied to separate substances which are steam volatile and immiscible with water.
Answer (d) As we know, essential oils are insoluble in water and have high vapour-pressure at $373 \mathrm{~K}$ but are miscible with water-vapour in vapour phase, it means these are steam volatile. Hence, steam distillation technique is used for the extraction of essential oils.Show Answer
(a) Column chromatography
(b) Solvent extraction
(c) Distillation
(d) Thin layer chromatography
Answer (d) Thin layer chromatography (TLC) is an another type of adsorption which involves separation of substances of a mixture over a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on a glass plate. A thin layer of an adsorbent is spread over a glass plate and glass plate is placed in an eluant. As eluant rises, components of the mixture move up along with the eluant to different distances depending on their degree of adsorption and separation takes place. Therefore, this TLC technique will give best results in identifying the different types of ink used at different places in the documents.Show Answer

Thinking Process
When a more electronegative atom is attached to carbon, the shared pair of electron moves towards more electronegative atom. Carbon has less electron density and gains partial positive charge.
Answer (a) Electronegativity of $\mathrm{Cl}, \mathrm{Br}, \mathrm{C}$ and $\mathrm{Mg}$ follows the order $\mathrm{Cl}>\mathrm{Br}>\mathrm{C}>\mathrm{Mg}$ $$
\begin{aligned}
& ^* CH_3 \rightarrow CH_2 \rightarrow Cl \quad \quad \quad (-I-effect)\\
& ^* CH_3 \leftarrow CH_2 \leftarrow Mg^+ Cl^- \\
& ^* CH_3 \rightarrow CH_2 \rightarrow Br \quad \quad \quad (-I-effect)\\
& ^* CH_3 CH_2 CH_3 \quad \quad \quad (+I-effect)\\
& \text -/effect \quad of \quad Cl>Br .
\end{aligned}
$$ Hence, $CH_{3} \quad CH_{2} \quad Cl$ has the greatest positive charge.Show Answer
Answer (d) In all the given carbocations, the negative charge is dispersed which stabilises these carbocations. Here, the negative charge is dispersed by two factors, i.e., $+R$-effect of the carboxylate ion (conjugation) and $I$-effect of the halogens. These effects are shown below in the carbocations (a) (b) (c) As it is clearly evident from the above structures, that $+R$-effect is common in all the four structures, therefore, overall dispersal of negative charge depends upon the number of halogen atoms and electronegativity. Since, $\mathrm{F}$ has the highest electronegativity and two F-atoms are present in option (d), thus, dispersal of negative charge is maximum in option (d). Note In above structure (a), methyl group $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)$ increases the density on $\mathrm{C}$-atom.Show Answer
(a) $2^{\circ}$ carbanion
(b) $1^{\circ}$ carbocation
(c) $2^{\circ}$ carbocation
(d) $1^{\circ}$ carbanion
Answer (c) When electrophile attacks $CH_{3}-CH=CH_{2}$ delocalisation of electrons can take place, in two possible ways As $2^{\circ}$ carbocation is more stable than $1^{\circ}$ carbocation thus first addition is more feasible. Note Stability of carbocations is the basis of Markownikoffs rule.Show Answer
Thinking Process
Homolytir fiscion oives free radical whereas heternlutic fission gives carhocation or carbanion.
Answer (b) Arrow denotes the direction of movement of electrons Since, $\mathrm{Br}$ is more electronegative than carbon, hence heterolytic fission occurs in such a way that $\mathrm{CH}_{3}$ gets the positive charge and $\mathrm{Br}$ gets the negative charge. Thus, option (b) is correct.Show Answer
Answer (b) Step I $\pi$-bonds creates an electron cloud, Electrophile $\left(\mathrm{H}^{+} \mathrm{C}\right)$ from $\mathrm{H}-\mathrm{Cl}$ attacks the electron cloud, delocalising the electrons. And, a carbocation is formed. Step II The chloride anion attacks the carbocation.Show Answer

Nitrogen, sulphur, halogens and phosphorous present in an organic compound are detected by Lassaigne’s test. The elements in compound are converted from covalent to ionic form fused with sodium metal.
Answer On adding dilute $H_{2} SO_{4}$ for testing halogens in an organic compound with $AgNO_{3}$, white precipitate of $Ag_{2} SO_{4}$ is formed. This will interfere with the test of chlorine and this $Ag_{2} SO_{4}$ may be mistaken for white precipitate of chlorine as $AgCl$. Hence, dilute $HNO_{3}$ is used instead of dilute $H_{2} SO_{4}$.Show Answer
Answer The given structure is of allene $\left(C_{3} H_{4}\right)$ $$
H_{2} \stackrel{1}{C}=\stackrel{2}{C}=\stackrel{3}{C} H_{2}
$$ In allene, carbon atoms 1 and 3 are $s p^{2}$-hybridised as each one of them is joined by a double bond. And, carbon atom 2 is sp-hybridised as it has two double bonds at each of its side. Therefore, the two $\pi$-bonds are perpendicular to each other, in allene, as shown below. $H_{a}$ and $H_{b}$ lie in the plane of paper while $H_{c}$ and $H_{d}$ lie in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Hence, the allene molecule as a whole is non-planar.Show Answer
Answer Electronegativity of carbon atom, also depends on the hybridisation of the carbon atom. Since, s-electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus than $p$-electrons, thus, electronegativity increases with increase in s-character of the hybridised orbital i.e., $ \xrightarrow[\large sp^3<sp^2,sp>]{\large \text{25 \% 33.3 \% 50 \% }} $ Hybridisation $ \xrightarrow[\substack{\text{Increasing order} \\ \text{of electronegativity} }]{\substack{\text{Increasing order} \\ \text{of \% s-character}}} $ Thus, $s p$-hybridised carbon is the most electronegative carbon.Show Answer

Answer The two isomers which differ in the position of the functional group on the carbon skeleton are called position isomers and this phenomenon as position isomerism. Thus, (A) and (B) may be regarded as position isomers and further they cannot be regarded as metamers since metamers are those isomers which have different number of carbon atoms on either side of the functional group. But here, the number of carbon atoms on either side of sulphur atom (functional group) is the same, i.e., 1 and 3 . (A) (B)Show Answer
Answer Among the following given compounds, according to IUPAC, the longest carbon chain having maximum number of functional group is being selected.

Answer DNA and RNA have nitrogen in the heterocyclic rings. Nitrogen present in rings, azo and nitro groups cannot be converted into $(NH_4)_2 SO_4$. That’s why Kjeldahl method cannot be used for the estimation of nitrogen present in DNA and RNA.Show Answer
Answer If a compound decomposes at its boiling point but is steam volatile, water-insoluble and stable at low pressure, steam distillation can be used for its purification. This technique is applied to separate substances which are steam volatile and immiscible with water. Direction (Q. Nos. 35-38) On the basis of information given below “Stability of carbocations depends upon the electron releasing inductive effect of groups adjacent to positively charged atom involvement of neighbouring groups in hyperconjugation and resonance.”Show Answer
Answer The given carbocation has two resonance structures. Structure (II) is more stable because both the carbon atoms and the oxygen atom have an octet of electrons.Show Answer
Answer Carbocation (A) is more stable than carbocation (B). Carbocation. (A) is more planar and hence is stabilised by resonance while carbocation (B) is non-planar and hence it does not undergo resonance. Further, double bond is more stable within the ring in comparison to outside the ring.Show Answer
Answer In triphenylmethyl cation, due to resonance, the positive charge can move at both the $o-$ and $p$-position of each benzene ring. This is illustrated below Since, there are three benzene rings, hence, there are, in all, nine resonance structures. Thus, triphenylmethyl cation is highly stable due to these nine resonance structures.Show Answer
Answer 2-methyl butane has four different sets of equivalent $\mathrm{H}$-atoms. $ CH_3-\underset{\underset{\large CH_3}{|}}{CH}- CH_2-CH_3 $ Removal of 1-1-1 atom from any of these equivalent sets gives four different carbocations. (III) $\left(3^{\circ}\right)\quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad \quad\quad$ (IV) $\left(1^{\circ}\right)$ Stability of carbocation decreases in the order $3^{\circ}>2^{\circ}>1^{\circ}$. So, III $\left(3^{\circ}\right.$ carbocation $)$ is most stable followed by II $\left(2^{\circ}\right.$ carbocation). Out of I and IV (both are $1^{\circ}$ carbocation) I has a $CH_{3}$ group at $\beta$-carbon while II has a $CH_{3}$ group at $\alpha$-carbon. As $H$-effect decreases with distance, hence IV is more stable than I. Therefore, the overall stability of these four carbocations increases in the order. $$

Ramesh repeated the test with the same Lassaigne’s extract, but again got red colour only. They were surprised and went to their teacher and told him about their observation. Teacher asked them to think over the reason for this. Can you help them by giving the reason for this observation. Also, write the chemical equations to explain the formation of compounds of different colours.
Answer If the organic compound contains both $\mathrm{N}$ and $\mathrm{S}$, then while fusion it may for form either a mixture of sodium cyanide $(\mathrm{NaCN})$ and sodium sulphide $\left(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{~S}\right)$ or sodium thiocyanate (NaSCN) depending on the amount of Na metal used. If Less sodium metal is used, only NaSCN is obtained. This then gives red colour on reacting with $\mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ ions (produced by oxidation of $\mathrm{Fe}^{2+}$ ions while preparing Lassaigne’s extract) due to the formation of ferric thiocyanate. $$ Fe^{2+} \xrightarrow{\text{Aerial oxidation}} Fe^{3+} $$ $$ Fe^{3+}+3NaSCN \longrightarrow \underset{\substack{\text{Ferric thiocyanate}\\ \text{(red)}}}{Fe(SCN)_3}+3Na^{+} $$ In case, excess of sodium metal is used, the initally formed sodium thiocyanate decomposes as follows: $$ \underset{thiocyanate}{\underset{Sodium}{NaSCN}} +2Na \xrightarrow{\triangle} \underset{cyanide}{\underset{Sodium}{NaCN}} + \underset{sulphide}{\underset{Sodium}{Na_2 S}} $$ This $\mathrm{NaCN}$ then reacts with $\mathrm{FeSO}_{4}, \mathrm{Fe}^{3+}$ ions and $\mathrm{NaCN}$, it gives prussian blue colour due to the formation of ferric ferrocyanide or iron (III) hexacyanoferrate (II). $$ 2NaCN + FeSO_4 \longrightarrow Na_2SO_4 + Fe(CN)_2 $$ $$ Fe(CN)_2 + 4NaCN \longrightarrow \underset{ferrate (II.)}{\underset{Sodium hexacyano^-}{Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]}} $$ $$ 3Na_4[Fe(CN)_6] + 4Fe^{3+} \longrightarrow \underset{f(II) (prussian blue)}{\underset{Iron (II) hexacyanoferrate}{Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]_3}} + 12Na^+ $$ On the basis of above results, it is clear that Ramesh used less sodium and hence NaSCN formed in the Lassaigne’s extract which gave red colouration due to $Fe(SCN)_3$ formation while Manish and Rajni used excess sodium and hence NaCN formed in the Lassaigne’s extract which gave prussian blue colour of $Fe_4[Fe(CN)_6]$.Show Answer

Answer (a) (b) (c)Show Answer
Answer (a) $\stackrel{+}{\mathrm{C}} \mathrm{H}_{3}$ is the most stable species because the replacement of $\mathrm{H}$ by $\mathrm{Br}$ increases positive charge ( $-I$-effect) on carbon atom and destabilises the species and, more the number of Br-atoms, less stable is the species. (b) $\stackrel{\ominus}{C} Cl_{3}$ is is the most stable species because on replacing $\mathrm{H}$ by $\mathrm{Cl}$, negative charge on carbon is dispersed due to $-I$-effect of $\mathrm{Cl}$ and thus get reduced and species is stabilised. Further, more the number of $\mathrm{Cl}$ atoms, more is the dispersal of the negative charge and hence more stable is the species.Show Answer
Answer Difference between inductive effect and resonance effect is as followsShow Answer
Inductive effect
Resonance effect
Inductive effect involves
$\sigma$-electrons displacement and
occurs only in saturated
compounds.It involves $\pi$-electrons or lone
pair of electrons and occurs only
in unsaturated and conjugated
Inductive effect can move upto
$3-$ carbon atoms.It is applicable all along the length
of conjugated system.
In inductive effect, there is a slight
displacement of electrons and
thus only partial positive and
negative charges appear.In resonance effect, there is
complete transfer of electrons
and thus full positive and
negative charges appear.
(a) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$
(b) $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CONH}_{2}$
(c) $CH_{3} CH=CHCH_{2} NH_{2}$
Answer (a) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}$ As it lacks $\pi$-electrons hence it will not exist as resonance hybrid. (b) $\mathrm{R}-\mathrm{CONH}_{2}$ Due to the presence of $n$-electrons on $\mathrm{N}$ and $\pi$-electrons on $\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{O}$ bond, hence amide can be represented as a resonance hybrid of the following three resonating structures. (c) $CH_{3} CH=CHCH_{2} NH_{2}$ As the lone pair of electrons on the $N$-atom is not conjugated with the $\pi$-electrons of the double bond, thus, resonance is not possible and hence no resonance hybrid will exist.Show Answer
Answer Three highly electronegative oxygen atoms are attached to sulphur atom in $SO_{3}$ which makes sulphur atom electron-deficient. Further, due to resonance, sulphur acquires positive charge. Both these factors, make $SO_{3}$ an electrophile.Show Answer
Answer The structure having more covalent bonds in a resonating structure, has more stability. Further, there is charge separation in structure (II) and the terminal carbon has only a sextet of electrons in (II). These two factors makes structure (II) less stable. Hence, I > II in terms of stability.Show Answer
Answer The difference in boiling point of two liquids is more than $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Hence, simple distillation can be used and since at the boiling point of low boiling liquid, the vapours would consist entirely of only low boiling liquid without any contamination of vapours of high boiling liquid and vice-versa. Thus, both the liquids can be distilled without any decomposition.Show Answer
Explain $ \underset{(A)}{CH_3 COOH} $ and $ \underset{(B)}{CH_3 \stackrel{\ominus}{COO}}$
Show Answer
Answer
Resonating structures of $(A)$ and $(B)$ are as follows
Structure (II) is less stable than structure (I) because later carries separation of positive and negative charges. Therefore, contribution of structure (II) is less than that of (I) towards the resonance hybrid of compound (A), i.e., $CH_{3} COOH$. On contrary, structure (III) and (IV) are of equal energy and hence contribute equally towards the resonance hybrid of compound $(B)$. Therefore, structure $(B)$ is more stable than structure $(A)$ i.e., $CH_{3} COO^{\ominus}$.

Answer A. $\rightarrow(1,2)$ B. $\rightarrow(2)$ C. $\rightarrow(2)$ D. $\rightarrow(3,4)$ In the following questions a statement of Assertion (A) followed by a statement of Reason $(\mathrm{R})$ is given. Choose the correct option out of the choices given below in each question.Show Answer
Assertion and Reason
Reason (R) Liquids with a difference of more than $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ in their boiling points can be separated by simple distillation.
(a) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
(b) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
(c) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are not correct
(d) $\mathrm{A}$ is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct
Answer (a) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$. Simple distillation can be used to separate a mixture of two liquids which do not react and have boiling point difference of more than $20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Hence, a mixture of propan-1-ol and propanone can be separated.Show Answer
Reason (R) Resonance hybrid cannot be presented by a single structure.
(a) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
(b) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
(c) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are not correct
(d) $\mathrm{A}$ is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct
Thinking Process
The polarity produced in the molecule by the interaction of two $\pi$ - bonds or between
$\pi$ - bond and lone pair of electrons present on an adjacent atom is resonance.
Answer (d) A is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct. Resonance hybrids are always more stable than any of the canonical structures would be, if they existed. The delocalisation of the electrons lowers the orbital energies, imparting stability. The gain in stability of the resonance hybrid over the most stable of the canonical structure is called resonance energy. A canonical structure that is lower in energy makes a relating greater contribution to resonance hybrid. Thus, the correct assertion will be energy of resonance hybrid is equal to the sum of energies of all canonical forms in proportion of their contribution towards the resonance hybrid.Show Answer
Reason (R) Position isomers differ in the position of functional group or a substituent.
(a) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
(b) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is not the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
(c) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are not correct
(d) $\mathrm{A}$ is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct
Answer (a) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$. When two or more compounds differ in the position of substituent atom or functional group on the carbon skeleton then it is position isomerism. Double bond is a functional group whose position varies.Show Answer
Reason (R) In this molecule all the carbon atoms are attached to each other by double bonds.
(a) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct and $R$ is the correct explanation of $A$
(b) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
(c) Both $A$ and $R$ are not correct
(d) $\mathrm{A}$ is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct
Answer (d) A is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct. Hybridisation can be determined by counting $\sigma$ - bond $$
\begin{gathered}
3 \sigma \quad 2 \sigma \quad 3 \sigma \\
H_{2} C=C=CH_{2} \\
3 \sigma-s p^{2} \text { hybridisation } \\
2 \sigma-\text { sphybridisation }

$$ Correct assertion In $H_{2} C=C=CH_{2}$, the central carbon is sp-hybridised whereas the terminal carbons are $s p^{2}$-hybridised.Show Answer
Reason (R) Sulphur is separated easily from other atoms in the molecule and gets precipitated as light yellow solid.
(a) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
(b) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is not the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$
(c) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are not correct
(d) $\mathrm{A}$ is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct
Answer (c) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$. $S$ present in an organic compound can be estimated quantitatively by Carius method. In this method, a known weight of organic compound is heated with fuming $HNO_{3}$, $S$ present in it gets converted into $H_{2} SO_{4}$. On adding $BaCl_{2}, H_{2} SO_{4}$ gets precipitated as $BaSO_{4}$ which may be of light yellow or white in colour. If light yellow colour is obtained, it means some impurities are present. It is then filtered, washed, purified and then dried and finally pure $\mathrm{BaSO}_{4}$ of white colour is obtained.Show Answer
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.

(b) Both $A$ and $R$ are correct but $R$ is not the correct explanation of $A$
(c) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are not correct
(d) $\mathrm{A}$ is not correct but $\mathrm{R}$ is correct
Show Answer
Answer
(a) Both $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{R}$ are correct and $\mathrm{R}$ is the correct explanation of $\mathrm{A}$.
In paper chromatography, a chromatography paper is used. It contains water in it,which acts as the stationary phase. A strip of chromatography paper spotted at the base with ink is suspended in a suitable solvent. Solvent acts as the mobile phase.
The solvent rises up the paper by capillary action and flows over the spot. The paper selectively retains different components according to their differing partition in two phases.
Hence, components of ink will migrate at different rates and are separated.
Long Answer Type Questions
61. What is meant by hybridisation? Compound $CH_{2}=C=CH_{2}$ contains $s p$ or $s p^{2}$-hybridised carbon atoms. Will it be a planar molecule?
Answer Hybridisation is mixing of atomic orbitals to form new hybrid orbitals. The new orbital have the same total electron capacity as the old ones. The properties and energies of the new hybridised orbitals are an average of the unhybridised orbitals. Hybridisation can be found by counting number of $\sigma-$ bonds around the carbon atom. $$
\begin{aligned}
& 3 \sigma=s p^{2} \text {-hybridisation } \\
& 2 \sigma=s p \text {-hybridisation }
\end{aligned}
$$ In allene, carbon atoms 1 and 3 are $s p^{2}$-hybridised as each one of them is joined by a double bond. And, carbon atom 2 is $s p$-hybridised as it has two double bonds at each of its side. Therefore, the two $\pi$-bonds are perpendicular to each other, in allene, as shown below. $H_{a}$ and $H_{b}$ lie in the plane of paper while $H_{c}$ and $H_{d}$ lie in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the paper. Hence, the allene molecule as a whole is non-planar.Show Answer
Answer Benzoic acid can be purified by hot water because of following characteristics (i) Benzoic acid is more soluble in hot water and less soluble in cold water. (ii) Impurities present in benzoic acid are either insoluble in water or more soluble in water to such an extent that they remain in solution as the mother liquor upon crystallisation.Show Answer
Answer If the difference in boiling points of two liquids is not much, fractional distillation is used to separate them. In this technique, fractionating column is fitted over the mouth of the round bottom flask. When vapours of a liquid mixture are passed through a fractionating column, the vapours of the low boiling liquid $(A)$ will move up while those of the high boiling liquid will condense and fall back into the flask. Therefore, liquid (A) with low boiling point will distill first.Show Answer
Answer The boiling points are in the order of $A>C>B$. Liquid $A$ can be separated from rest of the mixture of liquid $B$ and $C$ by simple distillation $B$ and $C$ can be separated by fractional distillation. Due to the fact that boiling point of $A$ is much higher than those of liquids $B$ and $C$. This can be done by using apparatus as shown in figure (I). As the boiling points of liquid $(B)$ and $(C)$ are quite close but much lower than that of $A$, hence, mixture of liquids $(B)$ and $(C)$ will distill together leaving behind liquid $(A)$. On further heating liquid $(A)$ will distill over. Now, place the mixtures of liquid $(B)$ and $(C)$ in a flask fitted with fractionating column as illustrated in figure (II). On fractional distillation, liquid $(B)$ will distill over first and then liquid $(C)$ as former possess lower boiling point than that of later.Show Answer
Answer If the difference in boiling points of two liquids is not much, fractional distillation is used. The techniques is, vapors of liquid mixture are passed through a fractionating column before condensation, fitted over the mouth of the round bottom flask. Vapours of the liquid with higher boiling point condense before the vapours of the liquid with lower boiling point. The vapours rising up in the fractionating column become rich in more volatile component. Fractionating column provides many surfaces for heat exchange between ascending vapours and descending condensed liquid. The vapours become richer in low boiling component. One of technological application of fractional distillation is to separate different fraction of crude oil in petroleum industry into various fractions like gasoline, kerosene oil, diesel oil, lubricating oil, etc. Another application is the separation of acetone and methanol from pyroligneous acid obtained by destructive distillation of wood.Show Answer

Answer
In steam distillation, the distillating mixture consists of steam and the vapour of organic substance. In steam distillation, the liquid boils when the sum of the vapour pressure of the organic substance $\left(p_{1}\right)$ and that of steam $\left(p_{2}\right)$ becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure $(p)$ at the temperature of distillation.
$$ p=p_{1}+p_{2} \text { or } p_{1}=p-p_{2} $$
Since, the vapour pressure of the organic substance is lower than $p$, it vaporises below its normal boiling point without decomposition e.g., aniline which normally boils at $457 \mathrm{~K}$ can be distilled at $371.5 \mathrm{~K}$ by this process.
