Question

14.. The process used to separate oil and water is:
a) Distillation b) Sublimation c) Separating funnel d) chromatography​

Answer 1

Answer:

distillation

sublimation

Answer 2

The process used is Separating funnel

• Both the liquids combine to naturally generate two distinct layers.
• This is because they are fully insoluble in one another.
• Water makes up the lowest layer, with oil naturally making up the topmost layer.
• As a result, due to differences in density, the combination of both adopts the shape of a heterogeneous mixture with oil settling on top of the water.
• A separating funnel can be properly used to sufficiently separate this.
