Solution
| S. No. | Separation by distillation | Separation by separating funnel |
| 1. | This method is employed for the separation of two miscible liquids. |
This method is employed for the separation of two immiscible liquids. |
| 2. | It is based on the difference in the boiling points of two liquids. | It is based on the difference in the densities of the two liquids. |
| 3. | Example: separate salt and water from saltwater. | Example: separating oil and water (two immiscible liquids) |
