Water is only at the bottom of a mixture of immiscible liquids if it is the densest liquid. If the other liquid is denser than water, water will be at the top, as would occur in a mixture of water and Mercury in a beaker.
The density of water is 1.00 g/ml, mercury is 13.5 g/ml and olive oil is about 0.85 g/ml.
Therefore water will be on the bottom of an oil/water mixture, but will be on the top of a mercury/water mixture.

What are the examples of immiscible liquids?
immiscible - oil and water miscible - water and ethyl alcohol
Is benzaldehyde miscible immiscible or partially miscible?
The miscibility with water is very low; benzaldehyde is soluble in liquid ammonia.
Is CCl4 a immiscible or miscible?
Carbon tetrachloride is not miscible with water but miscible with many other liquid organic compounds.
Why is chloroform at the bottom during extraction process with benzoic acid and sodium chloride mixture in water?
Because it is immiscible and has a greater density.
Are ink and water immiscible?
no
What determines if a liquid will float on water?
1) it has to be immiscible with water 2) it has to be less dense than water. 3) it has to be a liquid at the same temperature range over which water is a liquid..
What are immiscrible liquid?
I think what you meant was immiscible liquids. Immiscible liquid mean that it cannot form a homgeneous mixture when they are mixed together. A good example o f this is water are oil. The oil sits on top of the water.
What word is used to describe two liquids that do not mix?
When a solid "mixes" with a liquid the solid can be termed soluble and will "dissolve" in said liquid (salt and water), if the solid does not dissolve it is termed insoluble (sand in a glass of water). When a liquid "mixes" with another liquid the two are classed as miscible, if the two liquids do not mix and form two separate layers, the liquids are classed as being immiscible
What are the examples of immiscible liquids?
immiscible - oil and water miscible - water and ethyl alcohol
Example of mixture of insoluble liquid and liquid?
water is insoluble in oil thus making the both of them immiscible and can only be separated using a separating funnel.
Is benzaldehyde miscible immiscible or partially miscible?
The miscibility with water is very low; benzaldehyde is soluble in liquid ammonia.
Is CCl4 a immiscible or miscible?
Carbon tetrachloride is not miscible with water but miscible with many other liquid organic compounds.
Where do two immiscible liquid meet?
they meet at the distillation
What three liquids wont mix together?
liquids with different densities will not mix. example/ oil and water, water is les dense and floats ontop of the oil, in a glass container there are obvious layers of water and oil. some liquid 'mixtures' take longer than others because their densities are close in value.
Why is chloroform at the bottom during extraction process with benzoic acid and sodium chloride mixture in water?
Because it is immiscible and has a greater density.
Are ink and water immiscible?
no
I need a list of miscible and immiscible liquids.?
immiscible oil and water copper and cobalt
