Question

What is the principle of separating funnel? Explain with a labelled diagram and applications.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Separatory funnels work on the principle that immiscible liquids will separate from each other naturally along with their solutes, creating different layers of solution-solute. For example, a non-polar solute can be extracted from a solution by mixing it with a non-polar solvent in a separation funnel.

Answer 2

Explanation:

seperatory funnels work on the principle that immiscible liquids will separate from each other naturally along with their solutes, creating different layers of solution-solute. For example, a non-polar solute can be extracted from a solution by mixing it with a non-polar solvent in a separation funnel.

Applications of seperating funnel=A separating funnel can be used to separate the components of the mixture of immiscible liquids. How this can be done? To understand this let us perform a following activity. Let us try to separate kerosene oil from water using a separating funnel.
