Question

Can the posttasium nitrate and sodium nitrate can be separated using seperating funnel give reason

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

NO, NaNO3 and KNO3 cannot be separated using a separating funnel.

- A separating funnel can only separate the compounds with different miscibilities.

- The compounds Sodium Nitrate (NaNO3 ) and Potassium Nitrate (KNO3)  do not have very different miscibilities, i.e., they are not immiscible.

- So they cannot be separated by the use of a separating funnel.

- Actually they are separated by using the process of distillation under reduced pressure.
