In the separatory funnel, two layers are formed, one on the top and one on the bottom. Which layer is on the bottom? The more dense liquid is on the bottom. The less-dense liquid is on the bottom. The solution that has more volume is on the bottom. The solution with less volume is on the bottom.

Two liquids are known to be miscible. They are placed in a beaker and shaken. Which of the following describes what will happen? The liquids will eventually separate into two layers. The liquids form a solution. The liquids react to form a new compound. One liquid will solidify and settle to the bottom.
