Question

How can you separate mixture of two liquids? ( Miscible liquids and Immiscible liquids)

Answer 1

Miscible Liquids

• A mixture of two miscible liquids can be separated by the process of fractional distillation.

• The separation of two liquids by fractional distillation depends on the difference in their boiling points.

Immiscible Liquids

• Separating immiscible liquids is done simply using a separating funnel.

• The two liquids are put into the funnel and are left for a short time to settle out and form two layers.

• The tap of the funnel is opened and the bottom liquid is allowed to run.

• The two liquids are now separated.
