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."
