Question

What is emulsion?

Answer 1

What is Emulsion?

Take a cup of water and a cup of oil, and combine them into a third cup. Instead of the two liquids mixing together, the oil will just float on top of the water. Even if they are mixed together, the oil and water quickly separate again. Next beat up an egg and mix it with the oil and water. Now the oil and water aren't separating. Why is this? How is this possible? An emulsion is a mixture in which the substances combined are not soluble with each other. The substances will not mix or stay mixed with each other without the help of an emulsifier. In the water and oil emulsion, the egg is the emulsifier.
