Question
How will you separate water from mustard oil ?
Advertisements
Solution
We will separate water from mustard oil by using a separating funnel. Due to the difference in the densities of the two liquids, mustard oil, being lighter than water, floats over it and forms the upper layer, whereas water forms the lower layer. On opening the stop-cock, the lower layer of water comes out first and is collected in a beaker. Mustard oil is left behind in the separating funnel.

When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
