Solution

The correct option is B False

Separation of oil and water:

  • Filteration is used to separate solids from liquids or gases from liquids.
  • Water and oil both are liquids and they are immiscible.
  • They are separated by using a separating funnel due to difference in their density.
  • Oil is lighter than water. So, oil form an upper layer in the separating funnel, and water is present in the bottom.

Hence, the given statement is false.
