Question

How an emulsion is formed?

Answer 1

Emulsion:-

• The emulsion is basically the dispersion of two immiscible substances with each other.
• Emulsions are colloids in which, the dispersion medium is a continuous phase or in large amount, while the dispersed phase is a non-continuous phase.

Formation of emulsion:-

• For the formation of emulsion, there are two substances that are immiscible with each other are taken.
• So many times oil and water are the main components of emulsions.
• When oil and water are agitated together with an emulsifying agent there is the formation of an emulsion.
• Emulsifying agents are used for stabilizing the emulsions.
• Example: In milk, the fat globules (dispersed phase) are suspended in water (dispersion medium).
