Question

Mixture of oil and water - To separate the components from the mixtures, which method will you apply? Mention the method, giving the reason for it.

Answer 1

A mixture of oil and water is called immiscible liquids. Decantation is used to separate the liquids from the mixture of oil and water.

The immiscible liquids have different densities. A different density of the liquids creates the different layers.

So a mixture of oil and water can be also separated by the funnel.

Answer 2

$\textbf{Decantation }$is that method which can be used here.

This is beacuse, oil has less density than water so it will float on it and which makes us easy to separate it from water.
