Pls can you explain how to get the observation below

Physical properties of Hydrocarbons:

Test for water solubility of hydrocarbons:

1. Label three test tubes as alkanes, alkenes and aromatics.

2. Add 4 drops of each in their respective test tube; add equal amounts of distilled water. Gently swirl.

Water is polar solvent. Are there any separations of layers between the water layer and organic liquid layer? If separated, which layer is on top, the organic layer or thewater layer?

3. Record your observations in the data table below.

If separation of layers occurs, increase the amounts of water and gently swirl again to

confirm the insolubility property.

4. Disposal: All contents to be disposed into the waste container marked as organic waste.

Wash the test tubes and clean them using brush, soap and water. Keep these inverted in the test tube rack.

Data Table:

Test tube	Observations
1) Alkane
2) Alkene
3) Aromatics
