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. ;)

∙ 12y agoTwo liquids are IMMISCIBLE if they don't mix. If you try to mix them, they soon separate out into two separate layers. Oil and water are immiscible (as are vinegar and olive oil in salad dressing).
The reason they don't mix is that they have very different molecular attractrive forces.
Some substances, called emulsifiers, have the two different types of molecular attractions in the same molecule. If you add an emulsifier to your immiscible liquids, the emulsifier molecules are attracted to both liquids and stop them separating. Such mixes are called emulsions.
Examples of emulsions are mayonaise (egg yolk protein is the emulsifier, olive oil and vinegar are the immiscible liquids), ketchup, gravy, ice cream.
One misleading name is Emulsion paint. This isn't a true emulsion as it is actually a mixture of a solid and a liquid. This type of mixture is correctly called a colloid.

An emulsionis a mixture of two or more liquids which are normally immiscible (un-blendable). eg vinegar and oil in salad cream

Immiscible means they can't mix together .

∙ 10y agoan immisible mixture CANNOT be mixed while an emulsion cannot be mixed UNTIL an emulsifier such as egg yolk is added to it. The liquids will then mix and form an emulsion

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoIn an emulsion the dispersed phase is distributed quasi-homogeneously.
Two immiscible liquids are clearly separated.

What is immiscible?
Immiscible liquids do not mix with each other and don't form homogeneous mixtures. An example of this type of relationship is between water and oil (they separate)
