Answer:
You find a separatory funnel set up in a fume hood. There are clearly two visible layers. Describe a method you could use to determine which layer is the aqueous layer.
Explanation:
In the separating funnel, the liquid with less density exists at the top layer and the liquid with greater density will exist at the bottom layer.
To identify the aqueous layer, add a bit of water to the separating funnel.
Then, observe where the water will go and mix.
If it mixes with the bottom layer, then the bottom layer is the aqueous layer.
If water mixes with the top layer, then top layer is the aqueous layer.
