What properties must a compound have in order to be steam distillable?

the compound must be immiscible.


How do you convert steam usage in tonnes to Kwh of gas consumed?

You have to consult tables which give the properties of water and steam (commonly called Steam Tables). You have to calculate the total enthalpy of the steam as delivered, and subtract the enthalpy of the returned condensate (if returned) or of the water as it enters the boiler. In modern steam tables this will be in kilojoules per kilogram. You can multiply by mass to get total energy. To convert to kilowatt-hours, note that 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Various organizations have published steam tables in the past. The one published by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam is the one to use, particularly the 1997 formulation for industrial application. There are some free caclulators online which claim compliance to the algorithms, but I can't vouch for any of them. It is not straightforward and you may want the services of a competent steam engineer (that leaves me out. I may be able to hack my way through, but I am not "qualified" in this area.)


What creates steam?

Steam boilers create steam.


Are changes in properties always evidence of a chemical change and why?

No. Boiling water is a physical not a chemical change, and yet clearly steam has very different properties than liquid water does. A chemical change is one which will change the composition or identity of the material. So not only will its properties change, but it's chemical composition will also be changed


Why steam is used as boiling source in steam distillation?

Otherwise it wouldn't be a STEAM destillation, would it?

What are Steam tables used for?

To be general, steam tables are used to determine the properties of fluid. Mostly used on engine, refrigerator and heat pump. It shows the pressure and temperature require for a fluid to reach a certain amount of energy level.

Difference between sensible heat and latent heat?

Sensible heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes an immediate change in temperature without changing the state. While latent heat is heat supplied or taken away and causes a change in state without change in temperature. This difference can be applied to the certain properties of water/steam. This is called the thermodynamics properties of steam.


How do you change ice to water and then water to steam?

All you need to do is keep adding heat to it. The laws of Nature and the properties of H2O take care of all the rest.
