Is Matter Around Us Pure?

Question:

How will you separate a mixture of mercury, oil and water ?

Answer:

mercury, water and mustard oil. Now, sand is a solid which is insoluble in water as well oil. Water and mustard oil are immiscible liquids.
(i) The mixture of sand, water and oil is filtered. Sand is left on the filter paper as residue. Water and oil collect as filtrate.
(ii) The filtrate containing water and mustard oil is put in a separating funnel. Water forms the lower layer and mustard oil forms the upper layer in separating funnel. The lower layer of water is run out first by opening the stop-cock of the separating funnel. Mustard oil remains behind in the separating funnel and can be removed separately.
