Emulsion restatement

• A. A homogeneous mixture of liquids
• B. A solution of a gas in a liquid
• C. A mixture of two immiscible liquids where one is dispersed in the other
• D. A suspension of solids in a liquid

Answer: (C)

Emulsions involve two liquids that do not mix on their own being combined so that tiny droplets of one liquid are dispersed throughout the other. This results in a heterogeneous system where the dispersed droplets are suspended in the continuous phase, rather than a single uniform solution.

This fits the concept because it describes a mixture of immiscible liquids with one liquid dispersed as droplets in the other, which is exactly what an emulsion is. In contrast, a true solution would have one substance dissolved evenly in the other, giving overall uniform composition, while a suspension of solids involves solid particles dispersed in a liquid, not droplets of a second liquid.
