Question

A liquid mixture of carbon tetrachloride and water can be separated by separating funnel.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

1. A mixture of two immiscible liquids that on intermixing form two distinct layers can be separated by using an apparatus called the separating funnel.
2. The mixture of Carbon tetrachloride$\left({\mathrm{CCl}}_4\right)$ and water is immiscible.
3. Therefore, two layers are formed.
4. The density of Carbon tetrachloride is greater than that of water, and thus forms a lower layer.
5. Water is less dense and forms the upper layer.

Therefore the given statement is true.
