Using the PC table below, determine whether it would it be possible to steam distill ethylene glycol Explain in 3 sentences or fewer Mol. Wt. (g/mol) m.p. (°C) b.p. (°C) nDT 62.068 18.02 Compound np Solubility -13 ace; s eth, chl; sl bz Water 100 1.333420 1.573020 s eth, meth, ace

Solution

Steam distillation technique is used to separate substances which are immiscible with water,highly volatile and high vapor pressure at the boiling temperature of water.From the above table we can say that ethylene glycol is low volatile because it has low vapour pressure at a given temperature, and miscible with water.So it is not possible to distilled ethylene glycol by steam distillation method.
