Can two unidentified liquids with different densities be the same liquid?

It depends how you mean when you are asking...
If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical formula?" then the answer is yes, a simple example would be to show how the manganate and permanganate ions both have the formula (MnO4) but have different charges. Therefor, any liquid forms of the formula MnO4 could vary since the two polyatomic ions react very differently, however they would have the same chemical formula technically.
However...
If you mean to ask "Can two unidentified liquids with different densities have the same chemical composition (ie be made of the exact same molecules)?" then the answer, unfortunately, is maybe. Temperature and pressure can greatly affect the way molecules bond, and may affect the density. Therefor, if the one liquid was divided and put into two different temperatures and/or pressures then the densities could in theory change. However, this may change the state of the liquid, even possibly turning it into a gas or a plasma, and thus, it would no longer be a liquid. However, the substance would still be the "liquid" that you started with, the difference would be a change in the state of the matter.
So to answer your question, yes, two unidentified liquids with different densities can be the same liquid.

Can liquids be layered?
The layer of the Earth that has a liquid and solid layer is the core. The outer core is molten, while the inner core is a solid ball of iron.
Three liquids with different are dumped into a glass What do you expect to see?
They form individual layers depending on their densities...the liquids with lighter density floats on liquid with heavier density......
What would happen if you have 2 liquids with different densities in the same container?
the less dense liquid will float to the top and the more dense liquid will drift to the bottom
How will the type of liquid affect light refraction?
Different liquids have different optical densities and so different refractive indices. They will, therefore diffract light to different degrees.
How do you separate two miscible liquids of significantly different densities?
The liquids are allowed to separate into layers
Does every liquid weights the same?
The vast majority of liquids have different densities. The weight of a liquid depends on the force of gravity and the mass of the liquid. The mass of a liquid depends on the volume of liquid and the density of liquid. Therefore, the vast majority of liquids have different masses, densities and corresponding weights.
How would liquids with different densities look in a container?
The denser liquid would be below, while the less dense liquid would be on top.

What happens if you mix together liquids that have different densities?
The liquid with the higher density will stay down while the one with the lower density will rise up, thus stratifying the liquids into different layers.

2 teaspoonds are equal to how many pounds?
Depends on the liquid because all liquids have different densities making them lighter or heavier
How can you tell if the object will sink or float in a liquid?
Depends on the liquid, different liquids have different densities thus different things will float or sink in them. If it's water you're try throwing the object in a swimming pool.
How many kilograms in 5 gallon of liquid?
Depends on the liquid. Gallons measure volume, kilograms measure weight. A gallon of water does not weigh the same as a gallon of gasoline. Different liquids have different densities.
How many pounds in 1L?
Pounds measure weight, and liters measure volume, so they do not have a fixed ratio. You need to know what liquid you are measuring, as different liquids have different weights and densities.
