Understanding Liquid Density: Layered Fluids Demonstration #3254005 (License: Personal Use)

The image illustrates the principle of liquid density through two side-by-side glass cylinders. In the left cylinder, orange lamp oil (less dense) forms a distinct upper layer over blue rubbing alcohol (more dense). In the right cylinder, green liquid soap sits above yellow sugar syrup, again reflecting relative densities. Each layer remains separate due to differences in mass per unit volume and lack of miscibility.

This image is commonly used in educational science content-especially middle/high school chemistry or physics lessons-to teach density, buoyancy, and fluid stratification. It supports hands-on lab explanations or virtual demonstrations where users seek visual reinforcement of why liquids form layers when poured carefully.
