Distillate concentrations

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-08-29] [Hit: ]
the vapor pressure of a liquid having a lower boiling point will have a higher vapor pressure than a liquid having a higher boiling point.Condense the gas causing the vapor above the mixed liquids and it will have more of the lower boiling component.......
Why is it that, when you are doing simple distillation of two liquids, most of the distillate will contain more of the liquid that had a lower boiling point than that with a higher boiling point? I don't understand that aspect at all.

Thanks

At a given temperature, the vapor pressure of a liquid having a lower boiling point will have a higher vapor pressure than a liquid having a higher boiling point. Condense the gas causing the vapor above the mixed liquids and it will have more of the lower boiling component.
