A separating funnel, also known as a separatory funnel, is a laboratory instrument used for separating mixtures of liquids. The separating funnel is typically a glass conical or Squibb-shaped container with volume graduations marked on its side and a glass stopcock at the bottom.
The stopcock is used to control the flow of liquids and to allow for the separate discharge of each component of the mixture. The conical or Squibb shape of the funnel provides a large surface area for the separation of immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, and for the sedimentation of solid particles.
The glass stopcock allows for precise control of the flow of liquid and is useful for dispensing small volumes of liquids. The separating funnel with a glass stopcock is commonly used in chemistry and biology for the separation of liquid mixtures and for the purification of liquids.
