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.

Is oil miscible?

Oil is not miscible with water.


Which two are miscible with one another oil water and ethanol?

Water and ethanol. Oil is immiscible with either of those.


Example of miscible?

An example of miscible liquids is ethanol and water. When mixed together, they form a homogeneous solution with uniform composition. This is because the molecular structures of ethanol and water allow them to mix evenly at the molecular level.


Is mustard oil miscible in water?

Yes,slightly.


What is miscible ethanol and water or water and oil?

Ethanol is miscible with water, meaning they can mix in all proportions to form a homogeneous solution. Oil is immiscible with water, meaning they do not mix and instead form separate layers due to differences in polarity and intermolecular forces.


Why does oil reform in water after shaken?

Oil and water are not miscible.


Do oil mix with water?

Water and olive oil are not miscible.


What is immiscible substance?

Miscible solutions are liquids that form a homogenous mixture when combined. An example would be adding alcohol to water or vinegar to water. Oil and water would be non-miscible since they separate when combined.

What is a micible solution?

A miscible solution is one that forms a homogeneous solution when mixed with another solution. This means that each component in the solution has completely mixed together so that they are indistinguishable. So, when we look at a miscible solution, we would not be able to see a difference in the two or more solutions that the mixture contains. For example, if we add vinegar to water, we would not be able to see the vinegar and water separately. Rather, they would be one, homogeneous solution. On the other hand, an immiscible solution would mix to form separate layers, such as oil and water. For example, when we leave salad dressing in the fridge for a period of time, it separates into two distinct layers; this is the oil and water being 'immiscible' solutions. Therefore, we could say that vinegar and water are miscible, and oil and water are immiscible. Hope this helps!
