State the principle involved in separating a mixture containing kerosene and water.
(N/A) The principle involved in separating a mixture of kerosene and water is based on the difference in the densities of the two liquids. Kerosene and water are immiscible liquids,meaning they do not mix with each other. When left undisturbed,they form separate layers. Since water is denser than kerosene,it settles at the bottom,while kerosene,being lighter,forms the upper layer. This mixture can be separated using a separating funnel.
