how do u separate kerosene oil+ water?

Question

give the method

Answer 1

Given that kerosene and water are not miscible, and have a different density, a centrifuge could separate the two liquids.
Also, since water boils at 100 C and freezes at 0 C, while kerosene will boil at more than 150 C and freeze at less than 0 C, then heating of chilling the substance would allow distillation separation, or the creation of a hydrocarbon water slush that could be treated fop separation.
Your best best is distillation, still. That is how crude oil (which does contain water) is treated anyway.

Answer 2

Let the mixture settle and the oil will separate and form a layer on top of the water. Then you can decant the water off the bottom.
Most oil is lighter than water and will float. Some solvents like Chlorobenzene are heaver than water and will settle on the bottom. Some solvents like alcohol azeotrope with water and have to be distilled off.

Answer 3

Let it sit in an open container until it well separated, then take a Bic lighter and burn off the Kerosene.

Answer 4

Let the mixture stand until the kerosene forms on the top of the water then syphon it off.

Answer 5

let it sit, the kerosene will form a layer on top of the water

Answer 6

Kerosene and chloroform are highly non polar. Methanol, a one carbon alcohol is highly polar and miscible with water

Answer 7

There is a cream separator that spins it pretty fast. U heat it to about 100 deg and run it through the separator.

Answer 8

Kerosene floats on water.

In a lab, a simple seperatory funnel will do the job.
