Why? Explain.

Piku said:   5 years ago
With an increasing amount of steam, the partial pressure of distillate will decrease hence it will evaporate at low temperature. So. The less temperature required for distillation.

Use of steam is indirect proportion to the partial pressure in steam distillation.
