Solution
When two immiscible liquids with equal densities are placed in a separating funnel, they do not form separate layers.
Usually, the heavier liquid settles at the bottom, and the lighter one stays on top. However, when both liquids have the same density, gravity cannot separate them. As a result, they remain mixed, forming an emulsion or cloudy mixture without a clear boundary between layers.
