Answer:

a. add a little distilled water to see which layer the water adds to

Explanation:

The problem tells us to keep in mind two major aspects of the test: It has to be <em>simple</em>, as well as <em>non-destructive</em>:

  • Adding distilled water can be made in under a minute, without requiring specialized laboratory equipment, unlike IR.
  • It is also non-destructive, because the contents on either layer won't change due to the added distilled water.

A. add a little-distilled water to see which layer the water adds to

depending density of organic solvent-water layer can be top or bottom when we add little water you can absorb water addition or repulsion which helps to identify water layer
