Step 1.	Ensure that the tap of the separating funnel is closed.
Step 2.	Pour the mixture of liquids into the separating funnel, place a stopper in the top of the funnel and invert to mix contents.
Step 3.	Allow the layers to settle.
Step 4.	Add some water to see which layer increases in volume - this is the aqueous layer.
