Which of the foll

A separating funnel is used for the separation of components of a mixture between two immiscible liquid phases. One phase is the aqueous phase and the other phase is an organic solvent. This separation is based on the differences in the densities of the liquids. The liquid having more density forms the lower layer and the liquid having less density forms the upper layer. Hence water and kerosene mixture can be separated by using a separating funnel whereas water and acetone are separated by the process of distillation.
