 how to seperate benzene and water?

A mixture containing water and benzene can be separated into its constituents with the help of separating funnel: Water and Benzene are not miscible with each other, so they can be separated using separating funnel where the heavier liquid (water) will form a lower layer and lighter liquid (Benzene) will form an upper layer.

We can separate it by separating funnel because these two liquids are immiscible otherwise we can go for fractional distillation because the difference between their boiling point is near about 20 o C.
