Steam distillation is used to extract and purify the temperature-sensitive compounds. Steam distillation is generally used for organic compounds that are sensitive to temperature. The advantage of steam distillation is that the temperature-sensitive compounds can be boiled and extracted at a lower temperature without decomposition.

Dalton law states that in a mixture of non-reacting gases the total pressure exerted by the mixture is equal to the summation of the partial pressure of individual gases present in the mixture.
