A- Separating Kerosene from water - III- separating funnel
A separating funnel can be used to separate two immiscible liquids(the two liquids which do not mix together). A separating funnel is a specific sort of funnel that contains a stop-cock (or tap) in its stem that allows or stops the flow of liquid from it. The difference in densities between two immiscible liquids determines the separation by a separating funnel. Since kerosene oil and water are two immiscible liquids. Hence, they can be separated by using a separating funnel.
B- Separating Alcohol from water - I- fractional distillation
Fractional distillation is the process of separating two (or more) miscible liquids by distillation, the distillate is collected in fractions boiling at different temperatures. Since Alcohol and water are two miscible liquids having differences in their boiling points. They can be separated by the method of fractional distillation.
C- Separating Chalk powder from water - V- filtration
The process of removing insoluble solids from a liquid by using filter paper is known as filtration. Since chalk powder is heavy and slightly soluble in water, when passed through filter paper chalk powder remains behind as the residue, and water will collect as a filtrate.
D- Separating Camphor from common salt - VI- sublimation
The changing of a solid directly into vapors on heating, and of vapors into a solid on cooling, is known as sublimation. Camphor is sublime in nature which means on heating it directly converts into its vapors which can be collected and cooled to get camphor as a sublimate.
E- Separating Common salt from seawater - II- evaporation
Evaporation is a process of conversion of liquid into its vapors, even before reaching its boiling point. Seawater contains common salt dissolved in water. When seawater is heated, slowly the water is evaporated as vapors and a white-colored solid of common salt will be left behind. The common salt can be sundried to obtain common salt.
