Question

can three liquids from an immiscible mixture? Explain with an example.How will you separate them?

Answer 1

Yes 3 liquids can form immiscible mixture.
Take three liquids which are differ in density for example hexane, water, and ethylene.
Here hexane forms upper layer.it is less dense than water and the ethylene forms lower layer which is denser than water. Water forms middle layer.
This mixture can be separated by using distillation or fractional distillation method. The liquid which boils at lower temperature that comes out first from the mixture.  Liquid which boils at higher temperature that comes later.

Answer 2

Answer:

Three liquids can form an immiscible mixture.

Example: Mixture of oil, glycerine and water can be separated by using a

separating funnel.

Method :

 The immiscible liquid mixture of oil, glycerine and water is poured into

the funnel from the top and allowed to stand for sometime

 The liquid forms separate layers. The lighter liquid oil forms the upper

layer then the heavier liquid water forms the second layer. The heaviest

one glycerine forms the third layer.

 The liquid at the lowest level glycerine is collected first by opening the

stopcock, then it is closed quickly.

 Collect the second heavier liquid water in the same manner.

 Thus the three liquids are separated
