Answer:

Explanation:The density of a liquid determines whether it will float on or sink in another liquid. A liquid will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. A liquid will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in.

Density of a liquid determines how it will layer (heaviest to lightest). If the liquid us least dense it float to the bottom. Layers will remain separated because each liquid is actually floating on top of the more dense liquid beneath it.
