Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Centrifuge
Immiscible means that the liquids don't dissolve in each
other. Oil and water are an example. It is possible to shake up the liquids and
get them to mix but they soon separate. Separating immiscible liquids is done
simply using a separating funnel. The two liquids are put into the funnel and
are left for a short time to settle out and form two layers. The tap of the
funnel is opened and the bottom liquid is allowed to run. The two liquids are
now separate.
