Question

Explain in brief how can we separate two immiscible liquids

Answer 1

Separating funnel is used mainly to segregate two immiscible liquids. The mechanism involves taking advantage of the unequal density of the particles in the mixture.

Once the liquids are taken in the funnel, we can see the formation of two layers. The denser liquid sinks to the bottom and the other liquid is on the top. A conical flask is placed at the bottom to collect the denser liquid. The valve allows you to control when and how of the liquid is let through down to the conical flask.
