Question

What is the principle used for the separation of immiscible liquids?

Answer 1

Answer:

Immiscible liquids: Liquids that don't mix or are not soluble in each other, are called immiscible liquids. For example Oil and water.

• Oil and water are examples of two immiscible liquids. They do not mix and hence form two separate layers.

Separating principle of immiscible liquids:

• The mixture separates into two layers due to the differences in their densities.
• A separating funnel is used to separate these types of mixtures of two immiscible liquids.
• The upper layer Is formed by the lighter liquid oil due to its low density and the heavier liquid (water) forms the lower layer.
• Therefore, the water is first collected in the container, and then the oil is collected in another container.

Conclusion:

Therefore, Differences in the densities of given immiscible liquids are the principle on which the separation of immiscible liquids.
