The mixture of water and kerosene is put in separating funnel and allowed to stand for some time. The mixture separates into two layers according to the densities of water and kerosene. Water is heavier than kerosene. So, water forms lower layer while kerosene forms upper layer. On opening the stop clock of separating funnel, the lower layer of water comes out first and collected in beaker leaving behind kerosene.

- 8$A , B$ and $C$ are all liquids. Liquid $A$ has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid a vaporizes completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid $A$ is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid $B$ has a very high boiling point. It also vaporizes completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid $B$ is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid $c$ has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid $C$ vaporises leaving behind a white solid $D$ which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from $C$ give a liquid $E$ which turns anhydrous $CuSO _4$ to blue.View Solution
