Separatory Funnel Experiment - Liquid-Liquid Extraction in Chemistry Lab #3420551 (License: Personal Use)

This illustration depicts a classic liquid-liquid extraction setup in an analytical chemistry lab. An orange organic layer (e.g., diethyl ether) sits atop a denser blue aqueous layer inside a glass separatory funnel clamped to a ring stand; the stopcock is open, allowing controlled release of the lower phase into a receiving Erlenmeyer flask. The red stopper and yellow stopcock highlight key operational components for safe handling.

Used in educational chemistry resources, lab manuals, or instructional websites to demonstrate extraction techniques. Matches user intent for learning separation methods, preparing for lab work, or visualizing phase behavior in organic chemistry.
