Given time, the various components of a mixture of liquids shall settle out in a sort of stratification based on their physical properties (density, solubility, even temperature gradients) and find their own level. Some layers simply will not mix with others, and there is a distinct boundary layer at that point. Other layers have varying degrees of miscibility (check your General Chemistry course for the definition), and separate or combine to a known degree.
