How is an emulsion different from a solution?
Answers
In chemistry, a solution is a homogeneous mixture composed of two or more substances. ... An emulsion is mixture of two liquids that would not normally mix. That is to say, a mixture of two immiscible liquids. By definition, an emulsion contains tiny particles of one liquid suspended in another liquid only.

Answer:
Emulsions are prepared by shaking vigorously a mixture of two immiscible liquids. Emulsions are lyophobic and unstable. Hence a third substance called an emulsifying agent also called emulsifier is added to the emulsion during its preparation The emulsifiers are soaps, detergents, long chain sulphonic acids, lyophilic sols, alkyl sulphonates, etc. The emulsifier forms a protective layer surrounding the disperse phase or colloidal particle and converts lyophobic emulsion into lyophilic emulsion. Hence emulsion is prepared by mixing an emulsifier with a dispersion medium and then adding the disperse phase slowly with constant stirring
