Emulsions are also called the colloidal ...

Emulsions are also called the colloidal solutions in which the disperse phase as well as dispersion medium are liquids. It may be oil-in-water or water-inoil type Emulsifiers can be sued to stabilize the emulsion. Soaps, detergents, proteins, and gums are used as emulsifiers.
Which of the following examples is/are oil-in-water-type emulsion?

A

Ink

B

Detergent

C

Soap

D

Milk

AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given examples are oil-in-water type emulsions, we need to analyze each option based on the definition of emulsions. An oil-in-water emulsion consists of oil droplets dispersed in water. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definition of Emulsions**: - Emulsions are colloidal solutions where both the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium are liquids. - In oil-in-water emulsions, the dispersed phase is oil, and the dispersion medium is water. 2. **Analyze Each Option**: - **Option 1: Ink**: Ink is primarily a water-based solution with pigments or dyes. It is not an oil-in-water emulsion. - **Option 2: Detergent**: Detergents are surfactants that can help in emulsifying oils in water, but they are not themselves classified as emulsions. They can stabilize emulsions but are not oil-in-water emulsions. - **Option 3: Soap**: Soaps can act as emulsifiers and help stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, but they are not emulsions themselves. - **Option 4: Milk**: Milk is a classic example of an oil-in-water emulsion, where fat (oil) is dispersed in water, making it the correct answer. 3. **Conclusion**: - The only option that qualifies as an oil-in-water emulsion is **Option 4: Milk**. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **Option 4: Milk**. ---
