Answer #1

ANSWER=>

When two immiscible liquids are subjected to mixing not by agitation, they will not mix in to each other because the existance of the force of attraction (between the molecules of the same liquid phase) which is greater than the force of attraction between the molecules at interface. But the situation could be changed just by agitation. we know that interfacial surface tension ( between two immiscible liquid interface) could be increased by increasing the interfacial surface area between them. Agitation leads to breaking of each liquid phases into small droplets there by increasing the interfacial surface area which ultimately leads to increased better dispersion of one immisicible liquid phase in to another phase.
