How can you separate mayonnaise into its individual components?
•Mayonnaise contains emulsifier, which is used to join the two immiscible ingredients to form a stable, usable emulsion. •The emulsifier is made from a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and a hydrophobic (water-hating) tail, which work together to stop the oil from separating out. In the case of mayonnaise, it's the egg yolk that does this job. •Stable emulsions can be found naturally, and may be either oil-in- water, in which case small oil droplets are dispersed through water (as in milk), or water-in-oil, in which case small water droplets are dispersed through oil (as in butter).
How many drops are in a fluid ounce?
It depends on the fluid and its viscosity. The number ranges from 500 - 600 for water but there is a wide range of numbers possible:. Water is a relatively viscous fluid (i.e. a thick and sticky fluid) compared to light spirits so three will be fewer drops of water in a fluid ounce than if the fluid was a spirit. Compare water with a thick heavy oil. A droplet of oil will tend to be much larger than a water droplet so the number of drops may be far fewer. 600 drops will be present in one ounce.
What is oil drop model of a protein?
The oil drop model for proteins basically refers to the fact that in water, oil sticks together to form an oil droplet rather than being dispersed throughout the water in many droplets. Why? - Because of the hydrophobic effect. hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains cause water to form "cages" around them (this is because water cannot hydrogen bond to the protein so makes extra hydrogen bonds to itself), becoming more ordered and therefore losing entropy (S) which is unfavourable. This is the same for hydrophobic residues in the protein chain. If exposed, water will become ordered around them, losing entropy. The hydrophobic effect aims to minimise this entropic loss by burying the hydrophobic residues within the core of the protein. Hydrophobic residues can form relatively strong Van der waals forces with each other while the polar residues can form H-bonds with the water molecules.
What has the greater mass oil or water?
i think you mean 'why does water have a greater density than oil?' Water is a polar substance because of hydrogen bonding that occurs between each H20 molecule. So imagine that these bonds pull the molecules closer together. So in the same volume you can get more molecules of water than you can of oil. This is because oil is non polar so therefore has no bonding between its molecules.
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 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 do detergents do to a mixture of oil and water?
They cause them to mix. The detergent particles have an oil-soluble end which sticks into the oil, and a water soluble end which is attracted to the water. When enough detergent particles surround an oil droplet, it will move off into the water.
What is a lipid droplet?
A lipid is a compound that is insoluble (unable to be dissolved) in water but can be dissolved in other nonpolar solvents. The category of lipids includes oil, fat and wax. A lipid droplet is a small amount of that compound.
What is oil emulsion mud?
Water based drilling fluid that contains dispersed oil or synthetic hydrocarbon as an internal phase.
Why does hot cooking oil pop?
Sometimes it may pop/spatter slightly when a droplet of water comes into contact with the oil; the instant evaporation causes the popping sound.
What action occurs when oil and water is mixed in a separation funnel?
The oil and water will separate into two layers with oil as the top layer.
What does the oil stay on the button when you mix oil and water?
This occurs because the oil has a higher density (mass divided by volume) that the water.
How much oil has to be spilled to make water toxic for fish and other animals in water?
As small as a droplet of motor oil in one million droplets of water is enough to cause harm or kill a small sea organism ,i.e Krillin, plankton, etc.
Which is the dispersed phase in the mayonnaise?
Vegetable Oil
Who discovered change of electron by oil droplet experiment?
Robert Andrews Millikan
Is water pollution when waste is dumped into water sources and oil and toxins are introduced to water?
Yes, water pollution occurs * when waste is dumped into water sources and * oil and toxins are introduced to water
