You could use the separation techniques of either distillation or a centrifuge.

How will you separate mixture containing kerosene in water?
Kerosene is an oil therefore it will not mix well with water. The mixture should separate itself when settled. Then you can spoon or siphon the oil off the top of the water. These substances also freeze and boil at different temperatures so that can also be used as a method to separate them.
How do you separate kerosene oil and petrol?
you simply boil it and the petrol Will sit at the bottom while the kerosene sits at the top
Does kerosene oil dissolve in water?
No
Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
What does crude oil separate into?
bitumen, fuel oil, lubricating oil, diesel, kerosene, naphtha, petrol, refinery gas

Can distillation be us to separate water and kerosene?
yes
Which liquid floats on top water or kerosene?
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
How do you separate kerosene and crude oil?
kerosene and petrol can be separated by the process of fractional distillation.
Why does kerosene floats on water?
Kerosene floats on water for the same reason everything else floats. It weighs less than water and has buoyancy. If you put a drop of kerosene on water you will notice it forms a bubble, like a drop fill with air that is lighter than water. It is also an oil based product. Oil and water do not mix therefore the kerosene cannot mix with the water and therefore stays separate from the water. Oil slicks work this way too and kills anything near the surface of the water. In Pearl Harbor the USS Arizona has been leaking oil since it sank. Daily, oil blobs or drops rise to the surface and float on the water. So if you put kerosene on the bottom of a jar of water it will rise and float because it is less dense and lighter than water and will not mix with the water to weigh it back down to the bottom of the jar.Because it's immiscible with water and its density is lower than of water: it is lighter!
How will you separate water kerosene and sand from their mixture?
- Sand is separated by filtration- Kerosene is separated by decantation (or with a special separation funnel) from water
What does crude oil separate into?
bitumen, fuel oil, lubricating oil, diesel, kerosene, naphtha, petrol, refinery gas
Can a seperatory funnel be used to separate water from kerosene?
You could do that. Or you could just suck the kerosene off the surface of the water with a hand funnel.
Are kerosene and oil soluble?
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
How do you separate kerosene and water using a separating funnel?
It is used to separate 2 liquids that can not be mixed such as water and oil. Water is down and oil is up, we pour both in the separator funnel, and open the tap, when water is over, close it, and viola! You've got separated water and oil! :)
