Surface Energy & Work Done

The work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius RR is 'W1W_1' at room temperature. Now the soap is heated. From the heated another soap bubble of radius 2R2R is blown and the work done is 'W2W_2'. Then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. W=8πR2TW = 8\pi R^2 T; at the same TT, W(2R)=4W1W(2R) = 4W_1.
  2. Heating lowers surface tension: T′<TT' < T.
  3. W2=4W1T′T<4W1W_2 = 4W_1 \dfrac{T'}{T} < 4W_1
  4. So the answer is (c) W2<4W1W_2 < 4W_1.
