Question

Two liquids, a and b are immiscible. liquid a has a density of 0.89 g/ml. liquid b has a density of 0.72 g/ml. what would you expect to see if you added equal amounts of both liquids to a test tube, shook, and let settle

Answer 1

In the given above, we have two densities which are 0.89 g/mL and 0.72 g/mL. We are also given that the liquids are immiscible. After the settlement of the liquids, they will form two layers.

The heavier substance, the one which has a higher density will be at the bottom and the lighter substance, the one which has a lower density will be at the top layer.
