Step 1: Identify the Function of a Separating Funnel

A separating funnel is used for differential extraction — separating two immiscible liquid layers (e.g., aqueous and organic layers). Key features:
1. Pear-shaped or cylindrical glass body (to hold two liquid layers)
2. Glass stopcock at the bottom (to drain the lower layer)
3. Glass stopper at the top (to prevent spilling)
4. Must be able to hold two distinct liquid phases that settle by density

Step 2: Distinguish from Other Glassware
