Kerosene and water mixed is called an emulsion. This means they are combined but cannot mix together. In order to separate the two, place the emulsion in a container and let it sit undisturbed and the two liquids will separate on their own into layers.

∙ 11y agoFor separating kerosene from water distillation is used. As evaporation helps to recover only one component in a mixture.Water or other liquid evaporate into the air leaving the kerosene down. And in order to to collect the liquid component we use the distillation process. Te mixture is heated in a flask. Vapoursof the liquid are condensed are collected in a reciever. The solid component will be left in the flask. This method is also used for converting sea water into drinking water.

Can distillation be us to separate water and kerosene?
yes
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.
What mixture is used to separate water and seashells?
Separation by fltering.
Separation method for sand and water?
The mixture of and and water is a heterogeneous mixture. There is two steps to separate: Sedimentation: The sand will settle at the bottom of the beaker Decantation: Pour the water slowly out of the container leaving the sand behind. This water is called "supernatant" liquid.
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! :)
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
Separate water and chalk?
Separation by filtration is a method.
How can you separate kerosene oil and water?
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 water from alcohol?
You can separate water from alcohol by fractional distillation. By heating the mixture to the right temperature, the alcohol will evaporate and leave the water behind. However, alcohols and water are quite difficult to separate completely, and the separation will not be 100% by this method.
What mixture is used to separate water and seashells?
Separation by fltering.
What method of separation would you use to separate water with very tiny particles floating in it and how?
One can use sifter to separate water from tiny particles.

What separation method do you use to separate sulfur sand and sodium chloride?
Sulfur is not soluble in water, sodium chloride is very soluble in water. Add water, and then pour through a coffee filter. When fully filtered, leave to dry.
