Such a mixture would not have a specific boiling point. Instead, it can be used for separating the two substances by heating, a process known as distillation. At 100C, water will begin to evaporate and it can be collected. Only at 138C, will xylene begin to boil and become a gas, ready for collection. Thus, there is no specific melting points for such a mixture. If two liquids are insoluble in each other (as is the case for xylene in water, each phase exerts its own vapor pressure at a given temperature. The total pressure is then the sum of the vapor pressures for each liquid at that temperature.
At 94.5 Deg. C the vapor pressures of xylene and water phases
total one atmosphere -some 45 Deg. C, cooler than for xylene alone!

Why do some desalination plants boil water under reduced pressure?
on a normal pressure (1 atm) water boils on a temperature of 100 C, but when we reduce the pressure, ebullition temperature will be also reduced (it will become less then 100) which means that they can boil more water using less energy
If you suspend an open-topped container of water in a pan of boiling water with its top above the surface of the boiling water water in the inner container reaches 100 degrees but does not boil Why?
The hot plate's temperature is higher than 100°C. That is why the 'steam bubbles' form at the bottom of the pan, then float up to the top. All of the water surrounding the jar is at 100°C. As soon as a quantity of water turns to steam, it's bubble rises to the surface and is released into the surrounding air. The water that's touching the jar has not yet boiled, so it has less than enough energy to cause the water inside the jar to boil.
How hot does it get inside a diesel boiler?
A boiler is used to boil water, but many boilers work at high pressure so the temperature could be up to about 300 degrees C. Boilers are usually fed with oil that is heavier than diesel, while diesel is used to fuel diesel engines.
Where does the power for a circuit come from?
Power is another term for watts. It is the product of amps flowing in the circuit, times the voltage in the circuit. The amount of power the circuit consumes is governed by the resistive or inductive load.
Can fossil fuels be burned to produce thermal energy that can boil water and produce steam?
Yes, that is how they are used to generate electricity.
Can you boil the water at room temperature?
yes,at room temperature by decreasing the pressure we can boil the water.
What temperature does sea water boil at?
sea water boil at 105 c
Does drinking water boil at a lower temperature than salt water?
Yes, drinking water does boil at a lower temperature than salt water.
Will rainwater and sea water boil at the same temperature?
Sea water will boil at higher temp
How can you boil water at a temperature lower than 100 celsiuse?
Place the container of water in a vacuum & it should start to boil at room temperature.

How do you get pour water from a mixture of sand an sea water?
If you have a cooker with cap, continuously boil that mixture and collect the water drop in the cap (which from the water's evaporation) until the mixture is only solid.
