The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Excess pressure inside a liquid drop
$\Delta p=\frac{2 T}{R}$
where $T$ is surface tension and $R$ is radius of liquid drop.
$=\frac{\Delta p_{1}}{\Delta p_{2}}=\frac{R_{2}}{R_{1}}$
$=\frac{0.75}{0.50}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{\Delta p_{1}}{\Delta p_{2}}=\frac{3}{2}$

Liquid State

The liquid state of matter has the following properties:

  • As the particles moves it start moving everywhere inside the volume filled by the liquid.
  • Liquids have a strong inter-particle force, more inter-particle space than solids and enough kinetic energy.
  • It can be transformed into solids due to the solidification process.
  • Evaporation is the conversion of liquids to gases.
  • Liquid particles begin to flow more quickly when the temperature rises.
  • Liquids are difficult to compress because there is less space between particles for particles to migrate.
  • Constant volume but no constant shape.
  • In liquids, the rate of diffusion is faster than in solids.
  • Inter molecular attraction between particles is weaker than that between solids.
