Interpretation:
Whether one can account for the boiling point of the product in terms of the known boiling points or not should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Simple distillation is the process by which two volatile liquids that have a boiling point difference of at least
Explanation of Solution
When the two miscible liquids are mixed the mixture will contain molecules of each component. Boiling point of the substance is that temperature value at which vapor pressure of liquid is equal to value of atmospheric pressure and the liquid changes into a vapor.
Raoult's Law state that vapor pressure of mixture is the summation of the product of partial pressure and mole fraction of each component present in the mixture. Therefore the vapor pressure of the mixture is always higher than the pressure of known components present in it.
