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.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
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!!
I'm trying to find a cheap DIY method to etch holes of various shapes through 0.3mm Aluminium sheet using 5-10% Sodium Hydroxide. The idea is to apply a resist to the Aluminium then selectively ablate it off using a diode laser cutter and then dissolve away the Aluminium using Sodium Hydroxide. By cheap I mean resists costing say £20 in small quantities. The Internet has suggested various resists to try including... Enamel paint (only survived seconds in the NaOH!) Acrylic paint (only...
