Question:

The amount of energy required to form a soap bubble of radius 2 cm from a soap solution is nearly: (surface tension of soap solution = 0.03 Nm-1)

Updated On: May 26, 2024
  • 50.1 x 10-4 J

  • 30.16 x 10-4 J

  • 5.06 x 10-4 J

  • 3.01 x 10-4 J

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (D): 3.01 x 10-4 J
\(E=2T(4\pi R^2)\)
\(=2\times(0.03)(4)(3.14)(2\times 10^{-2})^2\)
= 3.01 x 10-4 J

Surface Tension

The amount of energy required to increase the liquid's surface area by one unit area is known as surface tension. In other words, it is a property of the liquid surface to resist force.

Surface tension is defined as,

The ratio of the surface force F to the length L along which the force acts.

Mathematically, the surface tension formula can be expressed as follows:

T=F/L

Where,

  • F is the force per unit length
  • L is the length in which force act
  • T is the surface tension of the liquid

Factors affecting surface tension:

  • Impurities: The surface tension decreases with the addition of impurities.
  • Surfactants: Adding surfactants in liquids lowers the tension of water making it interrupt aside or get susceptible.
  • Temperature: The surface tension of a liquid reduces as the temperature rises.

The Unit of Surface Tension:

The SI unit of Surface Tension is Newton per Meter or N/m.
