Question

During separation by using separating funnel, the liquid with lower density: 

  1. Floats on bottom  
  2. Settles at top
  3. Floats on top
  4. Evaporates

hintHint:

Liquid with higher density settle at the bottom.

The correct answer is: Floats on bottom
 


    A separatory funnel, also known as a separation funnel, separating funnel, or colloquially sep funnel, is a piece of laboratory glassware used in liquid-liquid extractions to separate (partition) the components of a mixture into two immiscible solvent phases of different densities. Typically, one of the phases will be aqueous, and the other a lipophilic organic solvent.
    The liquid with higher density settle at the bottom of the funnel and the one with lighter density float on top.

    During the separation of an immiscible liquid-liquid mixture by using a separating funnel, the following steps are followed. Arrange these steps in proper order.
    (1) The nozzle tap is opened gradually and the denser component is allowed to the dropdown.
    (2) The liquid-liquid mixture is poured into the separating funnel clamped vertically.
    (3) The light component remains in the flask.
    (4) The liquid with higher density settles down at the bottom of the flask
    (5) The mixture is allowed to stand where clear layers of liquids are formed.
