Suppose you mix several liquids in a jar. After a few minutes, the liquids form layers.Is this a homogenous mixture or a heterogenous mixture? Why?

heterogeneous mixture, because, the layers are called phases and a heterogeneous mixture has two or more phases. the oil phase is less dense then water so it floats on top, etc.
