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.
