In emulsions,dispersed phase is that liquid which is less in amount and dispersion medium is the one which in large amount. As an example, oil and water can form, first, an oil-in-water emulsion, wherein the oil is the dispersed phase, and water is the dispersion medium.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

• Dispered phase in emulsion = liquid.

• Dispersion medium in emulsion = liquid.

EXPLANATION:

• Emulsion are liquid - liquid colloidal systemsm

• The finely divided droplets of one liquid will be dispersed in another liquid.

• When a mixture of immiscible or partly miscible liquids is shaken, a coarse dispersion of one liquid in another will be obtained which is called emulsion.

Types of emulsions:

• Oil dispersed in water (O/W type).
• Water dispersed in oil (W/O type).

Oil dispersed in water:

• Here water acts as dispersion medium and oil acts as dispersed phase.

• Eg. Milk, Vanishing cream

Water dispersed in oil:

• Here oil acts as dispersion medium and water acts as dispersed phase.

• Eg. Butter, cream
