Learning Outcomes • Write a definition of the key words: Miscible, Immiscible, and Emulsion • Give an example of an emulsion(D) • Describe what an emulsion is (C) • Explain why emulsifiers are an important addition to some foods (B) • Explain how emulsifiers work in terms of intermolecular forces. (A/A*)
Immiscible liquids • An immiscible liquid is a liquid where the two solutions have not mixed properly. Eg oil and water • The oil and water form layers • Is there a way of getting the two liquids to mix?
Emulsifiers • An emulsifier is a substance that causes immiscible liquids to mix • Detergents are emulsifiers. They help when washing up as they allow the fat and water to mix. • Other examples of emulsifiers are: Cayenne pepper, eggs yolk, mustard
Emulsifier molecule Hydrophilic Bonds to water Hydrophobic Bonds to oil
Emulsifiers An emulsifier bonds with both liquids. Helping them to mix.
To finish off… • Oil slicks cause massive amounts of damage to the environment. • How could a detergent help to clean up an oil slick?
