Problem
At a mountain research station where the atmospheric pressure is 0.85 atm, a chemist distills a three-component mixture containing hexane (normal boiling point 69 °C), ethyl acetate (77 °C), and water (100 °C). Predict the order in which the components will be collected and briefly justify how the lower ambient pressure influences your prediction.
