MP Board · Class 9 · Science · Is Matter Around Us PureExplain the principle behind the separation of two immiscible liquids using a separating funnel.

Step-by-Step Solution

The separation of two immiscible liquids using a separating funnel is based on the principle that immiscible liquids separate out into distinct layers depending on their different densities. The liquid with the higher density forms the bottom layer, while the lighter liquid with lower density forms the top layer. By opening the stopcock of the funnel, the lower denser layer can be carefully drained out first, leaving the lighter liquid inside the funnel.
