Use of Separating Funnel

A separating funnel consists of a glass bulb fitted with a stopcock in its stem. It is used to separate the components of a mixture of two or more immiscible liquids, i.e., the liquids which do not dissolve in each other. For example, the components of a mixture of oil (kerosene) and water can be separated by using a separating funnel. The mixture is taken in a separating funnel and allowed to stand still. Oil, being lighter, forms the upper layer while water forms the lower layer. The stopcock is opened and the lower layer of water is carefully drained out in a beaker.
