Answers
A separatory funnel, also known as a separation funnel, separating funnel, or colloquially sep funnel, is a piece of laboratory glassware used in liquid-liquid extractions to separate (partition) the components of a mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different densities.

Answer:
A separating funnel is a glass funnel with a tap at the bottom. A separating funnel is a separation technique that is used for two liquids that do not dissolve in each other. Liquids that do not dissolve in each other are called immiscible.
How does separating tunnel works?
The mixture of liquids is placed inside the separating funnel
and a container is put beneath. The liquid with the lower density floats on top.When the tap is opened, the liquid with the higher density
starts to flow through the separating funnel into the container.
The tap is then closed just before the liquid with the lower density starts to flow through. The liquid with the lower density remaining in the separating funnel can then be drained into a different container to separate the two liquids.
