How to separate a mixture of oil and water?

Answer

• Two immiscible liquids, oil and water, can be separated using a separating funnel.
• Take the liquids in the funnel.
• Now we can see the formation of two layers of oil and water.
• The denser liquid sinks to the bottom and other liquid is at the top.
• A conical flask is placed at the bottom to collect the denser liquid.
• The valves allow you to control when and how the liquid is let through down to the conical flask.
