Solution
The correct option is D Electrolytes
- Emulsions are liquid-liquid colloidal systems, i.e., the dispersion of finely divided droplets in another liquid.
- If a mixture of two immiscible or partially miscible liquids is shaken, a coarse dispersion of one liquid in the other is obtained which is called emulsion.
- Emulsions of oil in water are unstable and sometimes they separate into two layers on standing.
- The emulsifying agent forms an interfacial film between suspended particles and the medium, which stabilises the Emulsion.
- Examples of emulsifying agents are proteins, gums, natural and synthetic soaps,heavy metal salts of fatty acids, long chain alcohols, lampblack.
- Here, electrolyte is not an emulsifying agent and hence is the correct option.
