Kerosene is an oil therefore it will not mix well with water. The mixture should separate itself when settled. Then you can spoon or siphon the oil off the top of the water. These substances also freeze and boil at different temperatures so that can also be used as a method to separate them.

Substance is not a sharply differentiated word.

However mixtures can be differentiated from solutions and compounds -- kerosene and water is not a solution nor a compound.
