Two liquids that do not dissolve in each other.
two liquids that will not mix with each other, and that are therefore heterogeneous (as for example oil and water).
Liquids, such as gasoline and water, that are not soluble in each other.
immiscibility. Compare with miscible and partial miscibility. Two liquids are considered "immiscible" or unmixable if shaking equal volumes of the liquids together results in a meniscus visible between two layers of liquid. If the liquids are completely immiscible, the volumes of the liquid layers are the same as the volumes of liquids orginally added to the mixture.
Incapable of being mixed; insoluble; opposite of miscible.
Incapable of being mixed without separation phases. Water and petroleum oil are immiscible under most conditions, although they can be made miscible with the addition of an emulsifier. ( 250)
liquids that will not dissolve in each other; oil and water are immiscible. (see insoluble)
Describes substances of the same phase or state of matter (usually liquids) that cannot be uniformly mixed or blended.
(chemistry, physics) incapable of mixing
two things, like liquids, or polymers, that don't mix. At all (think oil and water). Compare to miscible.
incapable of being mixed without separation of phases.
A term used to describe substances of the same phase that cannot be uniformly mixed or blended.
Incapable of mixing or obtaining homogeneity.
Liquids which will not mix to form a homogeneous substance when combined are said to be immiscible, e.g. oil and water; liquids that completely mix on combining are miscible, e.g. water and alcohol.
Incapable of blending of mixing into a single homogenous phase.
Incapable of mixing. Oil and water are immiscible.
incapable of blending or mixing. In part of the process of converting untreated water into drinkable water, the water must be held undisturbed for a period of time to allow the immiscible pollutants to separate from the water.
incapable of becoming homogeneous; used to describe two or more liquids that will not mix together to form a single homogenous substance.
Two liquids are said to be immiscible, if when added together they do not mix but form two separate liquid phases.
Not capable of being mixed together intimately without developing cloudiness or turbidity. This term is usually applied to liquids.
incapable of mixing or attaining homogeneity.
Not capable of mixing or being permanently mixed (as oil and water).
That which cannot be mixed. For example, water and gasoline are immiscible.
