Emulsion vs. Solution — What's the Difference?

An emulsion is a mixture of two or more liquids that are normally immiscible (unmixable or unblendable) owing to liquid-liquid phase separation. Emulsions are part of a more general class of two-phase systems of matter called colloids.

A method or process of dealing with a problem

A fine dispersion of minute droplets of one liquid in another in which it is not soluble or miscible

The answer to a problem or the explanation for something

A type of paint used for walls, consisting of pigment bound in a synthetic resin which forms an emulsion with water

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances, which may be solids, liquids, gases, or a combination of these.

Paint with emulsion

The process of forming such a mixture.

A suspension of small globules of one liquid in a second liquid with which the first will not mix

The state of being dissolved

A photosensitive coating, usually of silver halide grains in a thin gelatin layer, on photographic film, paper, or glass.

(Archaic) The act of separating or breaking up; dissolution.

A stable suspension of small droplets of one liquid in another with which it is immiscible.

A homogeneous mixture, which may be liquid, gas or solid, formed by dissolving one or more substances.

(chemistry) A colloid in which both phases are liquid.

An act, plan or other means, used or proposed, to solve a problem.

(photography) The coating of photosensitive silver halide grains in a thin gelatine layer on a photographic film.

An answer to a problem.

Any liquid preparation of a color and consistency resembling milk; as: (a) In pharmacy, an extract of seeds, or a mixture of oil and water united by a mucilaginous substance. (b) In photography, a liquid preparation of collodion holding salt of silver, used in the photographic process.

(marketing) A product, service or suite thereof, especially software.

(chemistry) a colloid in which both phases are liquids;

Satisfaction of a claim or debt.

A light-sensitive coating on paper or film; consists of fine grains of silver bromide suspended in a gelatin

The act of dissolving, especially of a solid by a fluid; dissolution.

The crisis of a disease.

To treat with a solution.

The act of separating the parts of any body, or the condition of undergoing a separation of parts; disruption; breach.

The act of solving, or the state of being solved; the disentanglement of any intricate problem or difficult question; explanation; clearing up; - used especially in mathematics, either of the process of solving an equation or problem, or the result of the process.

The state of being dissolved or disintegrated; resolution; disintegration.

The act or process by which a body (whether solid, liquid, or gaseous) is absorbed into a liquid, and, remaining or becoming fluid, is diffused throughout the solvent; also, the product resulting from such absorption.

Release; deliverance; discharge.

The termination of a disease; resolution.

A homogeneous mixture of two or more substances; frequently (but not necessarily) a liquid solution;

A statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem;

A method for solving a problem;

The set of values that give a true statement when substituted into an equation

The successful action of solving a problem;
