14 mL of oil is dispersed in water as spherical droplets of uniform radius 0.60 micrometre. The oil-water interfacial tension is 0.038 N/m. Neglecting the area of the original bulk oil, calculate the minimum work in joules needed to create the interface (two decimals). Use total area for spheres of total volume V.

Numerical answer type, answer in J, tolerance 0.02.

Answer: 2.66 J

For spheres, and area . Area . Work J.
