What kind of a colloidal solution is an
emulsion?
Answers
Answer:
An emulsion is a colloidal solution of two liquids, one of which is an oil and the other one is water. For example, milk is an emulsion. It is colloidal solution of liquid fat in water.
Explanation:
An emulsion is a colloid of two or more immiscible liquids where one liquid contains a dispersion of the other liquids. In other words, an emulsion is a special type of mixture made by combining two liquids that normally don't mix. The word emulsion comes from the Latin word meaning "to milk" (milk is one example of an emulsion of fat and water).The process of turning a liquid mixture into an emulsion is called emulsification.
Oil and water mixtures are emulsions when shaken together. The oil will form drops and disperse throughout the water.
Egg yolk is an emulsion containing the emulsifying agent lecithin.
