Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Mixture of chloroform and aniline can be separated by simple distillation as these two liquids have sufficient difference in boiling point. Chloroform (b.p. 334 K), aniline (b.p. 457 K)
In steam distillation, if one of the substances is water and the other, a water insoluble substance (like aniline) then the mixture will boil close to but below 373 K.
