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

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 ( ).
