Problem 93P

Consider a 0.2-mm diameter air bubble in a liquid. Determine the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the air bubble if the surface tension at the air-liquid interface is (a) 0.08 N/m and (b) 0.12 N/m.

ANSWER:

ANSWER:

Introduction:

From the properties of surface tension, we know that, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of a bubble depends upon the surface tension and the radius of the bubble.

The relation is,

           

Where is the pressure difference.

T is the tension between liquid-air interface.
