Who liquids form a single layer on mixing water and kerosene or water and glycerin and why is it so?
Water and glycerine form a single layer on mixing because both are very polar molecules and so they are "compatible" and miscible. Kerosene is very non polar and non compatible with water and so it is not miscible with water and forms two layers.
Examples of miscible liquids?
Two miscible liquids are: Alcohol and water.Sorry if this isn't what you wanted.
Can spirit and kerosene mix?
Water (H2O) and kerosene (C12H26) do not mix, i.e. they are not miscible. This is due to H20 being polar and C12H26 being different, that is non-polar, through the concept of "like dissolves like."
Is ink a miscible liquid?
Miscible in/with what? I am going to assume in water. Then, yes, they are miscible.
What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol are miscible.

Titre of glycerine?
The molar mass of glycerin is 92,09 g; glycerin is miscible with water.
Why is it not advisable to pour water on a kerosene caused fire?
Pouring water on a kerosene fire may cause splashes of hot/burning kerosene and water to splatter, due to the fact that kerosene is not miscible in water.
Are alcohol and kerosene miscible?
yes

Is oil miscible?
Oil is not miscible with water.
Is methylbenzene miscible in water?
Methylbenzene, aka toluene, is not miscible in water. It is miscible in organic solvents such as hexane and acetone.

Is kerosene and benzene miscible?
Yes, hexane and benzene are miscible (that is, when combined they mix together to form one layer) because they are both nonpolar (that is, because "like dissolves like" the liquid with the greater volume will become the solvent and dissolve the solute).
Why alcohals are miscible with water?
Alcohals are miscible in water and we cannot see anything after stirring it
What pairs of substances are miscible water and oxygen water and gasoline water and sodium chloride water and ethanol?
Water and ethanol are miscible.
