Answer:
Decantation is employed to separate immiscible liquids that have two different densities. For example, when a mixture of oil and water is present in a container, two distinct layers in the liquid mixture is formed. It is clearly visible that the oil layer is floating on top of the water layer.

Answer:
Decanting
Explanation:
Oil and water don't mix. so the mixture will separate into 2 layers. Cooking oil is less dense than water and will float on top for the water and can be carefully poured off. This is called decanting. To get a better separation chemists use a separating funnel. This is a glass funnel similar to a filter funnel but it has a tap at the bottom. When the tap is opened the lower layer can be run off first.
