Question

In an immiscible liquid-liquid mixture, which one forms upper layer ? Carbon tetrachloride or water

Answer 1

Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) is a non polar liquid and water is polar. Thus CCl4 is insoluble in water. Thus mixture of carbon tetrachloride and water can be separated by using separating funnel. ​These two immiscible liquids can be separated on the basis of density difference.The heavier liquid (CCl4 ) form the lower layer and the lighter one (water) forms the upper layer. By using a separating funnel, we can separate the two liquids.The lower layer of liquid is filtered through the funnel and the upper layer of liquid remains there.

Answer 2

Carbon tetrachloride is the right answer.
