Why do the crude biodiesel and crude glycerol separate?

You should notice an immediate separation as the water moves to the bottom of the funnel. Because of the polarity of water molecules, they will pull the residual catalyst, glycerin, soap and methanol from your crude biodiesel, and leave you with a purer biodiesel.
