Question
If a liquid compound decomposes at its boiling point, which method (s) can you choose for its purification. It is known that the compound is stable at low pressure, steam volatile and insoluble in water.

Answer

Steam distillation can be used for its purification. This method is applied to separate substances which are steam volatile and immiscible with water.
