You can add a chemical that both water and oil are miscible in such as a pure grain alcohol, this will combine them.

∙ 15y agowater cant breakdown the chemical bonds and structure of oil, and so cannot dilute it.

∙ 13y agoYes, by adding a surfactant which is detergent. it acts by attaching the polar water with its head and the non polar oil by its tail. so they mix

∙ 12y agofor immiscible liquids you would use a separtating funnel and for the miscible liquids I'm not too sure, I wasw just serching it up trying to find out what it is, sorry.

Why is cornstarch and water an emulsion?
An emulsion is a mixture of two immiscible liquids. Cornstarch is a solid and this mixture is a suspension.
What does emulsifier do to your body?
An emulsifying agent is a substance that helps an emulsion become more stable. An emulsion is usually a mixture of two products such as oil and water that do not mix together or that are also referred to as immiscible. By adding an emulsifying agent to the mixture, they cause the oil to be broken down into smaller pieces that can then be dispersed throughout then water. This is then what becomes known as an emulsion.
What are the differences between emulsion and immiscible liquids?
hi :) an emulsion liquid can be mixed and will stay together for a while ( mixed by shaking ) whereas immiscible will not mix together but instead form two separate layers like for example oil and water. i hope this answered ur question. ;)
How suspension differs from emulsion?
Emulsion: a mixture of two or more immiscible liquids Suspension: a liquid containing insoluble solid particles A suspension can be separated and does not mix togehter, but emulsion does.
What is miscible and immiscible?
Miscible liquids are liquids that form a homogeneous mixture when they are added together. Obviously liquids that are immiscible do not form a homogeneous mixture when they are added together.

Can water mix with oil?
No, they are immiscible. I want to improve the answer: Though oil and water are immiscible normally but they can be made immiscible by use of suitable surfactants or better say emulsifying agents resulting in the formation of mixture of oil and water called as emulsion.
What is definition emulsion?
Emulsion is a mixture of two or more immiscible liquid (liquids which do not mix in other liquids), one is dispersed by the other. Example : water in oil - water is dispersed in oil ( medium)

What is it called when oil and water don't mix?
Immiscible. When shaken an emulsion may form.
What is an immiscibl e mixture?
An immiscible mixture is a mixture which will not successfully combine into a homogeneous state. One of the most common examples of an immiscible mixture is oil and water.
What kind of mixture is water?
Sugar and Water mixture is an Homogeneous Mixture .

In the presence of an emulsifying agent a mixture of oil and water becomes a?
This mixture is an emulsion.
What are immiscible substances?
Immiscible means incapable of mixing, but you'd (you might) have to ask further incase there is a special solution called 'immiscible solution' of which its inability to mix is only one aspect of it.
