AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the emulsification of white mineral oil with water, specifically focusing on the timing of water addition. It highlights that when water is mixed with mineral oil, they may not naturally combine or remain mixed without an emulsifier. The role of the emulsifier is crucial, as it facilitates the mixing process when added to one component before introducing the other under agitation. There is a call for clarification on the theoretical mechanisms behind emulsification, indicating a need for deeper understanding of how to achieve a stable oil-in-water emulsion.

TL;DR Summary
How is the white oil emulsified O/W but thre water is to be put off later
How is the correct work to be done on white mineral oil emulsified as O/W but most of the water is to be deferred / put off later by indefinite amount of time?
At the time water is added/mixed that mixture just become exactly the same as the emulsification mixture being done at once

Difficult to understand what you said. Mineral oil and water may not mix or may not stay mixed. An emulsifier would be added to one of them and then the other is to be added with agitation; and the result may be an emulsion. Some other member could explain the theory or the mechanism.
 
It seems like a simple enough question: what is the solubility of epsom salt in water at 20°C? A graph or table showing how it varies with temperature would be a bonus. But upon searching the internet I have been unable to determine this with confidence. Wikipedia gives the value of 113g/100ml. But other sources disagree and I can't find a definitive source for the information. I even asked chatgpt but it couldn't be sure either. I thought, naively, that this would be easy to look up without...
I was introduced to the Octet Rule recently and make me wonder, why does 8 valence electrons or a full p orbital always make an element inert? What is so special with a full p orbital? Like take Calcium for an example, its outer orbital is filled but its only the s orbital thats filled so its still reactive not so much as the Alkaline metals but still pretty reactive. Can someone explain it to me? Thanks!!
