Solution
We will separate a mixture of kerosene oil and water using a separating funnel. Kerosene and water are immiscible liquids. They have difference in their densities. Kerosene has lower density, .e., it is lighter than water. So, it will form the upper layer and water will form the lower layer. On opening the stop-cock, the lower layer of water comes out first and is collected in a beaker. Kerosene is left behind in the separating funnel.
