Surfactants X (HLB = 10.0) and Y (HLB = 5.5) are %3D mixed together to emulsify a mixture of 30 % paraffin wax (HLB = 10.2) and 70 % of an organic oil. Although the HLB value (on max. 20 scale) of the organic oil is not known, the formula weight of the hydrophobic portion of its molecule is equal to three times the formula weight of the hydrophilic portion. Find the composition (in %) of the surfactants that would most likely emulsify the organic matters.
