When two liquids do not mix, they form two separate layers and are known as immiscible liquids. These two liquids can be separated by using a separating funnel. It will separate the immiscible liquids into two distinct layers depending on their densities. The heavier liquid forms the lower layer while the lighter one forms the upper layer. Kerosene has lower density than water and hence forms the upper layer.

Liquid water is held together by hydrogen bonds. Oils and fats not have any polar part and so for them to dissolve in water they would have to break some of water's hydrogen bonds. Water will not do this so the oil is forced to stay separate from the water.
