Question
How will you separate water from mustard oil?
✓
Answer
The mixture of mustard oil and water is put in separating funnel and allowed to stand for some time. The mixture separates into two layers according to the densities of water and mustard oil. Water is heavier than mustard oil. So, water forms lower layer while mustard oil forms upper layer. On opening the stop clock of separating funnel, the lower layer of water comes out first and collected in beaker leaving behind mustard oil.

The scientists now say that there are actually five states of matter A, B, C, D and E. The state A has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. The state B can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state C has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state D is mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state E is named after an Indian scientist and a famous physicist.
