Explain the use of separating funnel.
Answer: 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.

Pour the mixture of kerosene oil and water in a separating funnel.
Let it stand undisturbed for sometime so that separate layers of oil and water are formed. Open the stopcock of the separating funnel and pour out the lower layer of water carefully. Now close the stopcock of the separating funnel as the oil reaches the stop-cock.
