If liquid X has a lower surface tension than liquid Y, it means that liquid X has less resistance to spreading out over a surface. This implies that the droplets formed by liquid X will have a larger surface area compared to the droplets formed by liquid Y.
Therefore, the expected outcome is that the surface area of the drops formed by liquid X ( ) will be greater than the surface area of the drops formed by liquid Y ( ).

Small amounts of Liquid X and Liquid Y are sprayed into the air, where they form perfect spheres with a volume of . The diameters of these drops are measured with a high-speed camera, and they're surface areas and calculated. which of the following is the predicted outcome if liquid x has a lower surface tension than liquid y? will be greater than
will be less than
will be equal to
It's impossible to predict whether or will be greater without more information
