Two liquids A and B have densities of 1 g/mL and 1.2 g/mL, respectively. When both liquids are poured into a container, one liquid floats on top of the other. Which liquid is on top, and why?

Liquid A is on top because it has a lower density than liquid B. Less dense liquids float on denser ones due to the difference in buoyant force.
