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 the time taken for a mixture of oil water and emulsifier to separate depending on the volume of emulsifier?

The time taken for a mixture of oil, water, and emulsifier to separate depends on the volume of emulsifier because emulsifiers work by reducing the surface tension between oil and water molecules, allowing them to mix. The more emulsifier present, the longer it may take for the mixture to separate as it stabilizes the emulsion. Excess emulsifier can prevent separation entirely.
