SUMMARY
The boiling point of an organic mixture, such as borneol (boiling point: 210°C) and verbenone (boiling point: 227.5°C), is not simply the average of the two temperatures (218.75°C). Factors such as vapor pressure and the application of Raoult's Law and the Antoine equation must be considered to accurately determine the boiling point of the mixture. Additionally, the molar volumes of both components play a crucial role in this calculation.
