The experiment was conducted by mixing gasoline with pure water in a 1:1 ratio; after shaking, the oil and water separated, and the water became opaque. It returned to its normal state after being left alone for half a day

I would like to ask the experts: when gasoline and pure water are mixed in a 1:1 ratio and shaken, after the oil and water separate, the water layer at the bottom becomes opaque, and there are many bubbles at the interface where oil and water meet. I would like to ask the teachers why water turns into this state! ! An explanation is urgently needed! ! :'(This phenomenon did not occur with Sinopec!) ! !
Is this phenomenon related to water-soluble acids and bases?

It is a mixture of different phases, but this mixture is not due to dissolution; rather, it involves the suspension and dispersion of particles or tiny liquid droplets formed near the phase interfaces. Due to the differences in density and surface tension between oil and water, they will separate again after being left alone for a long time (not necessarily completely). If there are some surface-active substances present in the oil or water, it is possible to increase the stability of this dispersion, and even an emulsified state can be achieved.
It’s emulsified – isn’t that normal?
