How will you distinguish between dispersed phase and dispersion medium in an emulsion?
Answers
A dispersion is a framework in which particles of one stage are scattered all through a medium that is in an alternate stage. Along these lines a scattering is a two-staged framework. It is made out of a dispersion medium and a dispersion phase. Dispersion medium is a consistent medium in which the scattered stage is appropriated all through. Dispersion phase is the stage that is made out of particles that are disseminated through another stage. The fundamental distinction between dispersion medium and dispersion phase is that scattered stage is a scattered stage though scattering medium is a constant stage.
Dispersion phase is one of the two stages in a colloid. The scattered stage is an intermittent stage that is appropriated all through the dispersion medium. The scattered stage is made out of particles that have distances across around 1-100 nm.
Dispersion medium is the non-stop period of a colloid. It is the stage in which the scattered stage is appropriated. It tends to be in any condition of issue: strong, fluid or gas. It is likewise called the outer stage in light of the fact that the scattered stage is inside the scattering medium.
Example :
Smoke is an aerosol in which dispersed / scattered phase will be solid and dispersion medium will be gas.
