(N/A) mixture of two immiscible liquids can be separated by using a separating funnel.
In this process,the mixture is poured into the separating funnel and left undisturbed for some time.
The two liquids form separate layers based on their densities.
The heavier liquid settles at the bottom,while the lighter liquid floats on top.
By opening the stopcock of the separating funnel,the heavier liquid is collected in a beaker,and the stopcock is closed before the lighter liquid enters the outlet.
