Immiscible liquid separation
Decantation can be used to separate immiscible liquids that have different densities. For example, when a mixture of water and oil is present in a beaker, a distinct layer between the two consistency is formed, with the oil layer floating on top of the water layer
Both oil and water are immiscible liquid, that is both oil and water cannot get mixed under normal situations.
There is a technique for their separation using separating funnel.
Since oil is less denser than water, it floats over water. Thus, by putting the solution of oil and water in the separating funnel let's us to separate them by turning on the the stop handle present at the bottom of the funnel.
When almost all of the amount of water escapes out and is collected in a separated beaker, turn off the stop handle. Now, both water and oil are seperated.
Hope this helps you.
