Diesel fuel is immiscible in water.The bright rainbow pattern is the result of thin-film interference.. Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).
Gas mixture: air (oxygen and other gases in nitrogen) not possible: Liquid: Aerosol: fog, mist, vapor, hair sprays, moisted air Aerosol: rain (also produces rainbows by refraction on water droplets) Solid: Solid aerosol: smoke, cloud, air particulates: Solid aerosol: dust, sand storm, ice fog, pyroclastic flow: Gas Liquid Oxygen in water
Air is an example of a solution as well: a homogeneous mixture of gaseous nitrogen solvent, in which oxygen and smaller amounts of other gaseous solutes are dissolved. Mixtures are not limited in either their number of substances or the amounts of those substances, though in most solutions, the solute-to-solvent proportion can only reach a ...
A phase is a form of matter that is homogeneous in chemical composition and physical state.Typical phases are solid, liquid and gas. Two immiscible liquids (or liquid mixtures with different compositions) separated by a distinct boundary are counted as two different phases, as are two immiscible solids.
Mixing of liquids occurs frequently in process engineering. The nature of liquids to blend determines the equipment used. Single-phase blending tends to involve low-shear, high-flow mixers to cause liquid engulfment, while multi-phase mixing generally requires the use of high-shear, low-flow mixers to create droplets of one liquid in laminar, turbulent or transitional flow regimes, depending ...
Homogenization (from "homogeneous;" Greek, homogenes: homos, same + genos, kind) [5] is the process of converting two immiscible liquids (i.e. liquids that are not soluble, in all proportions, one in another) into an emulsion [6] (Mixture of two or more liquids that are generally immiscible).
A simplified phase diagram for water, showing whether solid ice, liquid water, or gaseous water vapor is the most stable at different combinations of temperature and pressure In physics , a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist.
A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, [1] while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels.
