Question

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.

Answer 1

The liquids form a solution.

Answer 2

If they are miscible, they will mix together. They don't necessarily make a new compound. It is sort of like a dilution problem. You can mix say water and antifreeze. You don't get a chemical reaction.

No solidification occurs.

There are no layers.

There is no chemical reaction.

Answer: they will form a solution
