There is an increase in free energy due to interfacial energy is known as a capillarity effect or the Gibbs-Thomson effect. Find the increase in this free energy if the interfacial energy, the molar volume and the radius of the spherical particle are given as 10 (kJ/mm2), 6mm3/mol and 4mm respectively?
