Question
Choose the appropriate option regarding the mixture of kerosene oil and water.
Options:
A .  Top layer - kerosene oil Bottom layer - water
B .  Top layer - water Bottom layer - kerosene oil
C .  Top layer - kerosene oil Middle layer - Water Bottom layer - kerosene oil
D .  Top layer - water Middle layer - kerosene oil Bottom layer - water
Answer: Option A
:
A
Kerosene oil and water form a mixture of immiscible liquids. When left undistubed, depending upon the densities of the liquid they form separate layers. The liquid that has a lower density forms the top layer and the liquid that has a higher density forms the bottom layer.
In this case, kerosene has density of 820 kg/m3 and water has a density of 1000 kg/m3. So, kerosene forms the top layer and water forms the bottom layer.
