How is an emulsion different from a solution?
The components are mixed unevenly instead of evenly within the emulsion.
Insoluble instead of soluble particles are suspended within the emulsion.
Two liquids that normally are not mixable are mixed in the emulsion.
The components of an emulsion are single elements or compounds instead of a
mixture of compounds.

What is the molar concentration of a solution,in parts per million,if 20 milligrams of Na3Po4 is dissolved in 1000grams of water?

An emulsion differs from a solution in terms of uneven mixing, insoluble particle suspension, immiscible liquids, and the presence of compound mixtures. Hence, all the options are correct.

An emulsion is different from a solution in several ways.

Firstly, the components in an emulsion are mixed unevenly instead of evenly. In a solution, the solute particles are uniformly distributed throughout the solvent, resulting in a homogeneous mixture. However, in an emulsion, the two immiscible liquids are mixed together, but they do not dissolve completely into each other. Instead, they form tiny droplets that are dispersed throughout the mixture.

Secondly, insoluble particles are suspended within an emulsion. These particles are usually oil droplets in water or vice versa. In contrast, a solution involves soluble particles that fully dissolve in the solvent.

Thirdly, an emulsion often consists of two liquids that are normally not mixable. For example, oil and water are immiscible in their pure forms, but they can be mixed to form an emulsion like mayonnaise.

Lastly, the components of an emulsion are typically two or more compounds, such as oil and water, rather than single elements or pure compounds like in a solution.
