Is steam an element compound heterogeneous mixture or a solution?

Steam is a gaseous compound, ie. vaporous water eventually mixed (homogenously) with others like in air. However a heterogenous mixture of tiny water dropplets, which can be seen coming off a container with boiling water, is (erroneously) called steam, this is a heterogenous mixture of air (gas) and liquid (water). Real steam is invisible, and far more dangerous to get burnt from!

Why the distillate from steam distillation was turbid?

Steam distillation is used to separate immiscible (normally organic) liquids from each other. Adding the steam, depresses the boiling point of the mixture. After condensation, the compound separated may also contain condensed water. Since the compound separated in this way is normally insoluble in water, the turbidity results.
