Detailed Solution

The given statement is true.
Water and carbon tetrachloride are immiscible liquids which means they do not mix with each other.
In order to separate two immiscible liquids we use a separating funnel.
In this method, both liquids are added to the separating funnel and kept resting for some time.
When the mixture is kept undisturbed, water being lighter forms the top layer and carbon tetrachloride form the lower layer.
Later carbon tetrachloride is collected by opening the stopper.
