Basically water is a polar solvent, meaning it has a positive and negative charge on it and kerosene is non polar the dipoles cancel so it has no charge. The solubility rule is that like substances dissolve like so water would mix with another polar molecule and kerosene would mix with a non polar molecule, hence why the two cant mix very well.
kerosene floats on water because kerosene is less denser than water

Jet fuel is a type of kerosene. Essentially it is kerosene which has been highly purified and had a few additives added to prevent or mitigate water contamination.Kerosene will burn just fine in a jet engine, and jet A will burn just fine in a kerosene heater.
When water and kerosene are mixed kerosene will float on top.
Kerosene does not decolourise bromine water because it is a saturated hydrocarbon, meaning it lacks double or triple bonds that can react with bromine. In contrast, cooking oils contain unsaturated fatty acids, which have carbon-carbon double bonds. These double bonds can react with bromine, leading to the decolourisation of the bromine water as it forms brominated compounds. Thus, the presence of unsaturation in cooking oils is the key factor in this reaction.

Kerosene is less dense than water.
No. Kerosene is an organic compound. and water is a non-organic compound. (kerosene : non-polar Water : polar). As water is a polar solvent kerosene is not soluble in it. but kerosene is soluble in ethyl alcohol which is a non-polar solvent.
Yes, kerosene floats on water because it is less dense than water. This is due to the fact that kerosene is a hydrocarbon liquid and has a lower density compared to water, causing it to float on top of water.
Usually kerosene is refined such that it contains less than 100 ppm water. When water is added to kerosene it becomes cludy in appearance. To remove water from hydrocarbons, they are passed over molecular sieves which bind the water to sites on the resins but allow hydrocarbons such as kerosene and gasoline to pass unhindered.
You turn the stove off and start cooking
