What gives the cloudy white emulsion?

Oil in water emulsion.


Why does a cloudy mixture is seen after shaking a mixture of ethanol and coconut oil?

Because the oil does not dissolve in the ethanol, instead it becomes emulsified into tiny particles due to the shaking. The particles give the mixture a cloudy appearance.


What cause capillary action?

There are following forces- Adhesive force between solid-liquid interface Cohesive force of liquids (consider water-oil system in a glass tube) The adhesive force between water and tube is greater than that of oil and tube because water is wetting fluid here. The surface tension of water is larger than that of oil. This imbalance in forces across the water-oil interface cause the upward motion of interface


If a tube of hydrogen gas is placed above a test tube of air why would the tube of air give a positive test for hydrogen after a few seconds?

the hydrogen would likely begin bonding with the oxygen in the test tube, and become heavier. As this product falls out, it would pull more hydrogen to the end of the tube, putting more hydrogen in contact with the oxygen, much the same way as an oil lamp pulls the oil fumes from the base of the lamp to the flame.


What will happen If you Shake 1 ml of coconut oil with 10 ml of water In another test tube add 1 ml coconut oil with 10 ml soap solution?

I am a layman, and took Chemistry course over 40 years ago, so this answer will be temporary until a Chemist can improve it. I suspect that in the first test tube [oil and water only] that there probably will be a partial break-up of the oil and some mixing into the water, but this will be temporary until the oil seperates, floats to the surface, and partially recombines. In the case of the second test tube [oil, water, and soap] that the soap will reduce the surface tension of the oil, allowing it to break up into smaller particles, and possibly form a stable, or at least simi-stable emulsion in the water.

Why the thiele tube is shaped the way it is?

The thiele tube allows convection currents in the oil when it is heated meaning there is fairly uniform distribution of temperature.

How to remove engine shroud on 1999 buick lasabar?

I have a 2002 LeSabre so if it is like mine and if you mean the plastic cover over the engine, you remove the oil tube in the front of the engine by screwing off the entire tube and then the cover lifts off out of a ring in the back of the engine. The oil tube has the cap on it, but often the tube comes off with the cap, if not grab the shank of the tube and turn counterclockwise.

Is cloudy olive oil still good to use?

If the oil has become cloudy because it was stored in quite cold conditions, it should become clear again when it returns to a normal room temperature. If it does, it is safe to use. If the oil does not become clear again, it has probably been contaminated by something and it is best not to use it.
