appearance of the mnicroemulsion is:
A. intense white B. milky white
C. translucent D. transparent
9. Emulsions are defined as
thermodynamically unstable
that follow sequentially towards systems. The events
instability
are:
A. coalescence, breaking,
creaming and flocculation
B. coalescence, flocculation,
creaming and flocculation
C. flocculation,
creaming, breaking and coalescence
D. flocculation, creaming, coalescence and
10. In an emulsion, which
breaking
instability step prevented by emulsifiers?
is
A. Breaking
LB. Coalescence
C. Creaming
D. Flocculation
11. An 'emulsion within emulsion' is
A. olw/w
designated as:

C. wlolow
B wlolo
12. The main
D.wlolw
function of an emulsifier in the
develop a condensed membrane layer film preparation of an emulsion is t0

B. increase the
repulsions between globules coming
C. increase the surface free together
energy
D. reduce the interfacial
tension
13. An emulsifier can be
regarded as superior, if its mechanism of action
based on the principle of:
ch-11 EMULSIONS

developing solid adsorption film 473

A
forming monomolecular adsorption film
oenerating multimolecular adsorption film
C.
increasing
interfa energy
D.
ulsifier is considered
be ideal, if it is
to
soluble in:
oil and gas phases B
A.
aqueous,
aqueous phase only
both aqueous and oil phases D. oil
jal scale, emulsions are

prepared by
15. On commercial

A. centrifugation
B. dialysis
C. freezing B. homogenization
Microemulsion NOT considered to be
1s
a true emulsion, because
A. appearance is transparent B emulsifier is not used
immiscible phase is absent D. internal phase is not spherical
7 Among the factors intluenceing he
creaming in
open to formulation phannacist is
to regulate:
an emulsion. 'the factor
A. density of dispersion medium B. density of
globule size
dispersed phase
D. volume of
1R Normally preservatives are added to
dispersion medium
an emulsion. One of the
statements is true. following
A. Amount of the preservative added is below minimum
concentration inhibitory
B.Emulsifier should enhance the preservative action
CPreservatives remain in the aqueous phase
D. Preservatives stay in the oil
phase
19. For the formulation of w/o
emulsion, the coalescence rate of:
A. wlo has no
relationship to the type of emulsion formed
B. olw is
equal to wlo coalescence rate
eow is greater than wlo
coalescence rate
D. wlo is
greater than the olw coalescence rate
AUXiliary emulsifying agents are used to stabilize the emulsion. They act
on the principle:
A.
adjusting the HLB value
Dstrengthening the nonpolar tails of the emulsifier
Srengthening the polar heads of the emulsifier
thickening the continuous phase
Each
question carries 2 marks
e i n e an emulsion, Mention two advantages of emulsions with suitable
2. examples.
Describe two methods for identifying the type of emulsions.
