Is kerosene and water a substance or a mixture?
It is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Kerosene is a hydrocarbon extracted from petroleum through fractional distillation. It is a mixture of hydrocarbons with different number of carbon atoms(10-14). The boiling point RANGE of kerosene is 170-250 degrees Celsius.
How can you separate kerosene and water from sedimentation?
To separate kerosene and water from sedimentation, you can use a process called decantation. Allow the mixture to settle so that the sedimentation settles at the bottom. Carefully pour off the kerosene layer, leaving the water and sediment behind. You may need to use a separating funnel for better precision in separating the layers.
Examples of substances that use the separating funnel?
Separating funnels are commonly used to separate immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, or to extract compounds from a mixture using a solvent. They can also be used to extract impurities from a liquid mixture or to separate layers of different densities, like separating saltwater and oil.
Why is a solid mixture heavier after separation?
using water for separating
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! :)

Examples of fractional distillation?
Separating crude oil into its components, such as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene. Purifying ethanol from a mixture of water and ethanol. Producing different grades of alcohol by fractionating a fermented mixture. Separating components of air, such as nitrogen, oxygen, and argon.
Freezing point of kerosene water mixture?
oint of kerosene is -22F

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
Why is a solid mixture heavier after separation?
using water for separating
Is mixed kerosene and water a substance or a mixture?
Substance is not a sharply differentiated word. Kerosene and water would are a mixture (to the extent that they will mix), but they could also be termed a substance as mixtures can be substances under some uses of the word substance. However mixtures can be differentiated from solutions and compounds -- kerosene and water is not a solution nor a compound.

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 will you separate a mixture of kerocene oil and water?
You can separate a mixture of kerosene oil and water using the method of decantation. Allow the mixture to sit undisturbed until the two liquids separate into distinct layers. Then carefully pour off the kerosene oil layer, leaving the water behind.
Did any of the ingredients form a solution with the water how can you tell separating a mixture?
For example by the evaporation of water.
