The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not true about oil-in-water type emulsions, we need to analyze each statement provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Oil-in-Water Emulsion**: - An oil-in-water emulsion consists of tiny droplets of oil dispersed in a continuous water phase. This means that water is the main medium, while oil is the dispersed phase. 2. **Evaluating the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: "Addition of a small amount of water, no separate layer of water is formed." - **Analysis**: True. Since water is the continuous phase, adding more water will not create a separate layer; it will simply increase the amount of the continuous phase. - **Statement 2**: "The addition of a small amount of oil-soluble dye renders the entire emulsion colored." - **Analysis**: Not true. If we add an oil-soluble dye, it will not color the entire emulsion because the dye will only dissolve in the oil phase, which is in a much smaller quantity compared to the water phase. Therefore, the emulsion will not change color significantly. - **Statement 3**: "The addition of oil results in the formation of two layers." - **Analysis**: True. If more oil is added, it will not dissolve completely in the water and will form a separate layer on top of the water due to the immiscibility of oil and water. - **Statement 4**: "The addition of a small amount of an electrolyte increases the conductivity of the solution." - **Analysis**: True. Electrolytes dissociate into ions in water, which increases the conductivity of the solution. 3. **Conclusion**: - The statement that is not true about oil-in-water emulsions is **Statement 2**: "The addition of a small amount of oil-soluble dye renders the entire emulsion colored."
