Question

Hi I’ve been struggling with this problem, it says what I choose is wrong but I’m not sure why

Oil is insoluble in water. This is because of the differences in the
polarity of the liquids, one is non polar and the other is polar.
However, oil drops can be suspended in water to form a colloidal
solution by adding
a coagulant
O sugar solution
O salt / saline solution
Emulsifying agent/s

Expert Solution

Step 1

A solution of made of two components: solute and solvent. Solute is present in the minor quantity in the solution whereas solvent is in major. For solute and solvent to mix together in a solution, their polarity should be same.
