Properties of Matter 4 Question 13

15. Two soap bubbles A and B are kept in a closed chamber where the air is maintained at pressure 8Nm2. The radii of bubbles A and B are 2 cm, respectively. Surface tension of the soap-water used to make bubbles is 0.04Nm1. Find the ratio nBnA, where nA and nB are the number of moles of air in bubbles A and B, respectively.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 15. 6

Solution:

  1. Although not given in the question, but we will have to assume that temperatures of A and B are same.

nBnA=pBVB/RTpAVA/RT=pBVBpAVA=p+4S/rA×4/3π(rA)3(p+4S/rB)×4/3π(rB)3

(S = surface tension )

Substituting the values, we get

nBnA=6
