Two Phase System Emulsions Flashcards
Homogenous preparation
Emulsion
Two face system in which one liquid is dispersed in the form of small globules throughout another liquid in which it is immiscible
Emulsion
What are the three components of an emulsion?
Disperse liquid — internal phase/ discontinuous phase
Dispersion medium — external phase/continuous phase
Intermediate Agent — emulsifying Agent/dispersing or stabilizing agent/emulsifier/intermediate liquid/surfactant
External phase
Dispersion medium
Discontinuous phase
Dispersion liquid
Dispersing or stabilizing agent
Intermediate agent
Composition of oil-in-water emulsion
External phase: water
Internal phase: oil
