Chapter 22, Problem 22.17E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The right side of the Laplace-Young equation has units of pressure is to be shown.

Concept introduction:

Laplace-Young equation is a fundamental equation for the behavior of an interface. This equation relates the pressure difference on either side of an interface with the surface tension and the area of the liquid changes with volume. The Laplace-Young equation is shown below.

$\left(p_{\text{I}}-p_{\text{II}}\right)=\gamma \left(\frac{\partial A}{\partial V_{\text{I}}}\right)$
