Emulsion can be destroyed by: This question has multiple correct options

Emulsion can be destroyed by: This question has multiple correct options

  • A. the addition of emulsifier which tends to form another emulsion
  • B. electrophoresis with high potential
  • C. freezing
  • D. all

Step-by-step solution

Emulsions can be destroyed by adding an emulsifier that promotes the opposite type (causing phase inversion or destabilization), by applying a high potential (electrophoresis) to coalesce droplets, and by freezing (ice crystals disrupt the interfacial film). All three methods are effective.
