When a solution of silver nitrate is added to pure carbon tetrachloride, two distinct layers form due to the immiscibility of the polar silver nitrate solution and the nonpolar carbon tetrachloride. The silver nitrate will remain in the aqueous layer, while carbon tetrachloride will not dissolve any of the silver nitrate. There is no significant chemical reaction between the two, and the silver ions do not interact with the carbon tetrachloride. Thus, the two substances coexist without mixing.
