Organic solvents with a density greater than 1.00 g/mL (e.g. dichloromethane) cause the aqueous layer to float to the top, while solvents with a density lower than 1.00 g/mL (e.g.
Organic substances with a higher density than water (e.g., dichloromethane) cause the aqueous phase to float on top, while those with a lower density than water (such as
