here's your answer..............dear user...........✌✌❤❤

water and kerosene oil are two immiscible liquids.ao, a mixture of kerosene oil and water can be separated by using a seperating funnel.

when the mixture of water and kerosene oil is put in a seperating funnel, it forms two layers. water, being heavier, forms the lower layer in the seperating funnel whereas kerosene, being lighter, forms the upper layer. on opening the stop cork of separating funnel, the lower layer of water comes out first and collected in a beaker. the kerosene left behind in the seperating funnel. ot can be removed in a separate beaker.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We can separate water and kerosene oil with the help of a separating funnel. In this method, two liquids of different densities which are insoluble in nature poured in a separating funnel.

Liquid with high density remains at the bottom while the liquid with low density will float above the high density liquid. Since, water has high density as compared to kerosene oil.

So, water will remain at the bottom whereas kerosene oil will remain at the top.

Now, when stop-cork is opened water will come out first leaving behind the kerosene oil.

As a result, both the liquids will be separated out.
