    You've probably always been taught that you can't mix oil and water together. Well actually you can! I first show you the method that is usually used by using an emulsifier. But then I show you an amazing new technique that invloves removing the dissolved air from the water. This causes hydroxide ions to be able to come into contact better with the oil droplets and keeps the tiny oil droplets repelled even after the air is added back in!

      domingo silivanes triglycerides (oils) have very weak dipole moments but are still “polar” in a way, just not for most practical purposes. So you can technically mix a tiny amount of oil in water and still have it not separate. The smaller the oil droplets and the lower the concentration, the more stable the mix will be. You can use a high shear emulsifier to achieve micron (or even nano) sized droplets, thus decreasing the likelihood that they’ll come in contact with other oil droplets (flocculation). The amount of oil you can actually mix with pure water and remain stable is pretty small, though, as you saw in this video. Most likely even the degassed sample in this video would separate to a degree within the next day, so really the emulsion is pseudo stable. It’s just a matter of time before it breaks.

(...and should we speak about them as if they are fact?). It's always bothered me to the core that people repeat things they were told when they themselves do not truly understand it... and in many cases have no understanding at all... but that don't stop them from having strong opinions.

    It is well known that liquids that "don't mix" actually dissolve in each other even little bit. This is why laboratory extractions are often aided by "salting out" the non-polar (organic) solvent from the aqueous phase. Even the classification of liquids as polar vs nonpolar is not accurate - it's a spectrum. Some "nonpolar" solvents like DCM are quite polar, yet less polar than water and don't mix. Some "polar" solvents like butyl alcohol mix with water but only to an extent. Some mix freely with water (e.g. isopropyl alcohol) yet can be umixed (salted out) by increasing ionic strength of water by saturating it with some salt.
    Another factor is hydration because some substances (e.g. sugar) dissolve in water not because they dissociate in ions (like salt), but they make hydrogen bonds with water molecules and therefore stay in water as whole molecules sorrounded by water of hydration, which dissolves in sorrounding water.
    Like with many such simplified rules (e.g. never pour water into acid) - the actual state of affairs is way more colourful as you learn why is that actually and work your way down the rabbit hole.

      @Toaster having a bath Water molecules are like magnets: they have positive ends and negative ends. Much like a magnet, they can attract and trap things that are also polar ("magnetic"). Also like magnets, though, not all magnets or metals are made equal. Some magnets are way stronger than others, and some metals aren't as magnetic as others. When people say a liquid is polar, it could be just a teeny bit or *an excruciating amount* (See: Acids and Bases). So while very little, almost inconsequential amounts, of a substance will dissolve, that amount has been dissolved and technically *did* mix.
      Well, a magnet always wants to grab as much polar stuff it can get its hands on (as determined by how strong it is), so "Salting Out" means add more salt (a very polar thing) until nearly every water molecule grabs a salt (rather than the thing you *don't* want dissolved in water).
      The last thing he said regards *how* water grabs stuff. Although water wants the most polar charge it can get its hands, it has a tendency to grab too much if the polar strength between them (Like gravity, it's an equation that takes both in account) is too great, and rip them down to the single molecules (or atoms). Sugar isn't as strong as salt in this measurement, so rather than be shredded to bits, it just kinda hooks on at the Hydrogen ends of a water molecule. Or a couple of them. Rather than get dissolved, it gets *immersed*.
      Edit: also, please correct me if I'm wrong on any of this. I'm a layman on these topics.

      @@jibzz4749 well, I guess after a very very long time with a lot of shaking it would work, but naturally the reason that shaking works is because the air bubble which is a different density, is flung back and forth, stirring up the liquid like a spoon. shaking doesn't work well when the whole container is full of a liquid that's all the same density. it might also work if you could bend your container, like if you put it into a balloon, you wouldn't need any air bubbles then. but in a rigid container, the only thing or force that exists to stir up the liquid, is Newton's first law. which says that if something is in motion, it will stay in motion, same goes for if its at rest. because of this property, you can move an object inside of a container without touching it, and can therefore stir it up remotely. but of course, this requires that the object moves differently than the liquid it is placed in, air works because it is a different density, a steel ball would work because it is a different density as well.

    @jcon16 Před 5 lety +40

    Oil + hydroxide = emulsifier (soap)
    Hydroxide is naturally present in water due to disassociation.
    The layer of air (when present) prevents the reaction of hydroxide with oil.
    When air is absent, the surface of the oil can react with hydroxide in the water, creating a surface layer of the emulsifier.
    So this isn't "emulsifier free". It's just that you've induced a chemical reaction that creates the emulsifier from only oil and water.

    • @5467nick
      @5467nick Před 4 lety +3

      You make an interesting point in that while no emulsifier was physically added, merely formed by removing barriers to its formation, but soap is a salt of a fatty acid, usually with a metal cation (though ammonium soaps are an exception). Sodium hydroxide (or any other water-soluble hydroxide compound with a high enough ph) reacts with fatty acids (oils) like it does with mineral acids (hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, etc.) and just like with mineral acids, the hydroxide anion from sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc, combines with hydrogen from the acid to form water. Hydroxide ions present in pure water are anions to hydronium cations (disassociation, as you mentioned) and while they can be emulsifiers, as demonstrated in the video, they are not soap. If anything, its the hydronium ions that would be the soap, at least after they react with the oil, assuming that is truly what is occurring in the experiment.

      I think it's more of a colloid than an mixture or suspension. It's not truly mixing, its just breaking up into smaller lipid droplets. Due to the small sizes from shaking and degassing the oil stays spread out in the water. It seems like homogenization done to milk. Degassing is replacing making micro lipid droplets.
