Name a reagent other than soap, which can be used as an emulsifying agent in the oil in water type emulsion.

Assertion(A): Small quanity of soap is used to prepare a stable emulsion. Reason(R): Soap lowers the interfacial tension between oil and water.

Emulsions are normally prepared by shaking the two components together vigorously although some kind of emulsifiying agent usually has to added to stabilize the product. This emulsifying agent amy be a soap or other sufactant (surface active) sepcies or a lyophilic sol that forms a protective film around the dispersed phase. Emulsion broadly classified into two types: (i) Oil in water emulsions (O/W): Oil acts as dispersed phase and water acts as dispersion medium. (ii). Water in oil emulsion (W/O): Water acts as dispersed phase and oil acts as dispersion medium Due test, dilution test may be emplyoyed for identification of emulsions. Q. Read two statment s: (1) milk is an example of oil in water (O/w) type emulsion (2) cold cream is an example of water in oil (W/O) type emulsion

Assertion : Sulphide ores are concentrated by forth flotation process. Reason : Pine oil froms emulsion in water.

The colloidal solution of two immiscible liquids in which one of the liquids acts as a dispersed phase and the other as dispersion medium is called emulsion. Milk is an example of emulsion in which fat globules are dispersed in water. Emuldion are of two types i.e., O/W and W/O type emulsion, identified by dilution test, conductivity test and dye test. In milk, whihc acts as an emulsifier ?
