In the presence of an emulsifying agent, a mixture of oil and water becomes a colloidal dispersion.
Colloidal dispersion <span><span>otherwise </span>colloid</span><span> is </span><span>a system, in which discrete particles, droplets or bubbles of a dispersed phase (in this case oil), whose size at least in one dimension is in the range from 1 to 1000 nm are distributed in the other, usually continuous phase - dispersion medium (in this case water) differing from the dispersed phase in composition or state of aggregation.</span>
Simply put, density is how tightly “stuff” is packed into a defined space.
For example, a suitcase jam-packed with clothes and souvenirs has a high density, while the same suitcase containing two pairs of underwear has low density. Size-wise, both suitcases look the same, but their density depends on the relationship between their mass and volume.
Mass is the amount of matter in an object.
Volume is the amount of space that an object takes up in three dimensions.
Density is calculated using the following equation: Density = mass/volume or D = m/v.
If something is heavy for its size, it has a high density. If an object is light for its size it has a low density.
The relative densities of an object and the liquid it is placed in determine whether that object will sink or float.
Main function of a restriction enzyme is to cleve (Cut) DNA bases.
Hope this helps!
