How detergent changes an oil water suspension into an emulsion?

Oil and water do not mix when detergent is added. What really happens is that (in the usual case) the detergent (which has "oil-like" and "water-like" parts to each molecule) causes the oil to disperse through the water in tiny droplets which have the detergent on the surface of the droplets, making them much more stable than tiny droplets of oil would be in water. The detergent is usually charged, which makes the droplets repel each other, preventing the tiny oil droplets from reuniting into larger droplets, which is what happens if you vigorously shake an oil water mixture, like salad dressing - that's why oil and vinegar salad dressing has to be used right after preparation. Oil, water, and detergent is still not a true mixture, since the oil and the water are not really "mixed" in the true sense of the word, but they appear mixed to the eye since the oil particles are too small to be seen with the naked eye. There is one more requirement for this apparent "mixing" after adding detergent: there has to be a LOT more water or a LOT more oil in the mixture. You can't make an apparent mixture of a 50:50 blend of oil and water by adding detergent, for example. This means that you can have tiny droplets of water surrounded by detergent in a large amount of oil as well as the more usual case outlined above. That is called a "reverse emulsion" while the more common case above is a "simple emulsion." It's also the reason why detergent is effective to clean clothes. It "emulsifies" the oils (which soiled clothes are contaminated with) allowing them to be flushed away. Zentrails


Why does oil miscible in solution of surf and water?

Presumably you mean surfactant and water? A classic surfactant molecule has a polar, hydrophilic end and a non-polar hydrocarbon liophilic end. With enough of a suitable surfactant, oil droplets will form with the liophilic part of surfactant molecules dissolved in the droplets and water molecules attached to the hydrophilic part of the surfactant. The oil disperses in the water.

What will happen if olive oil is added to water?

What will happen if you mix oil and water and shake it up?

First of all you will see an emulsion of very tiny droplets of water and of oil. Gradually these tiny droplets will touch and combine with each other. Ultimately the oil droplets rise to the top because they are less dense than water. The water drops meanwhile are joining together and sinking below the oil. Finally the oil and water will have separated.


How is fat water soluble made?

Fat cannot be made water soluble. However by using an emulsifier you can get a mostly stable mixture of either oil droplets in water or water droplets in oil.


How will you show that transpiration has occurred in a plant?

You can cover a plant with a polythene bag and keep for sometime and observe water droplets.


How do you get tar sand out of the ground?

The oil sands are dug out of the ground with huge shovels and dumped in ...droplets to merge in to bigger water droplets so they can be separated out.


Hot oil will splutter when droplets of water is dripped into it?

oil is sensitive to water hence, they are showing chemical reaction.


Why does hot oil splutter when droplets of water is dripped into it?

Because first of all the water is heavier then the oil so the droplets sink into the oil rapidly the next thing that happens is that the water suddenly urns int team and expands ans rapidly pushes the oil that is surrounding it away from itself.


What will happen to a plant if you tie a polythene bag around all its leaves?

tiny droplets of water will appear inside the bag.these tiny droplets are due to transpiration from leaves.
