Which factor must be considered before using a separating funnel for two liquids?
The liquids must be immiscible
A separating funnel separates two liquids that do not mix and so form two separate layers.
The lower, denser layer is run out through the tap, leaving the upper layer behind.
This works only if the liquids are immiscible; their colour, odour or boiling point does not matter.
Hence, the answer is that the liquids must be immiscible.
