Two layers form when a solution of NaI in water is shaken with a solution of bromine in cyclohexane. Why is this?
I know that NaI in water means it is an aqueous solution. Bromine in cyclohexane is Br in C6H12. I know it has to do with intermolecular forces. Anyone have any hints?

If there are no bromine nor NaI, how many layers will you have?

2... the water and cyclohexane
-
wouldn't the water and cyclohexane form cO2 and H2O, so that would just be one layer-the water.

Dear Chay722;
If you don’t know it by yourself, please take a look under “Properties” on: "Cyclohexane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclohexane)”
Good Luck!
