(N/A) The principle of extraction in a separatory funnel is based on the difference in the solubility of an organic compound in two immiscible solvents,typically an organic solvent and water. The organic compound is more soluble in the organic solvent than in water,allowing it to be separated from an aqueous solution by shaking it with the organic solvent.
