A steam volatile organic compound which is immiscible with water has a boiling point of $250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. During steam distillation, a mixture of this organic compound and water will boil :
above $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ but below $250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
above $250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
at $250^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
close to but below $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$
Solution
If one of the substances in the mixture is water and the other, a water insoluble substance, then the mixture will boil close to but below, $373 \mathrm{~K}\left(100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right)$.
