QUICK TIMES RUNNING OUT!

What method could you use to seperate oil from water? Remember that the both must still remain, they just have to be seperated.

1. You could drain off the oil as a supernatant, since oil is less dense than water.
2. You could attempt to evaporate the water since they have different boiling points (212 vs 572 F), and then condense it in a separate container using a distillation unit.
