At room temperature, the surface tension of water is 72.0 mJ·m–2. What is the energy required to change a spherical drop of wate

r with a diameter of 1.20 mm to five smaller spherical drops of equal size? The surface area of a sphere of radius r is 4π r2 and the volume is 4π r3/3.

It is given that the surface area of sphere is 4 π r² and its volume is (4/3 π r³)
With a diameter of 1.2 mm you have a radius of 0.6 mm so the surface area about 4.5 mm² and the volume is about 0.9 mm³ 
The total surface energy of the original droplet is (4.5 x 10⁻⁶ m x 72) = 3.24 x 10⁻⁴mJ
The five smaller droplets need to have the same volume as the original so:
5 V = 0.9 mm³ so the volume of smaller sphere will equal 0.18 mm³
Since this smaller volume still have volume (4/3 π r³) so r = 0.35 mm
Each of the smaller droplets has a surface are = 1.54 mm² 
The surface energy of the 5 smaller droplet is then (5 x 1.54 x 10⁻⁶ m x 72) = 5.54 x 10⁻⁴ mJ
From this radius the surface energy of all smaller droplets is 5.54 x 10⁻⁴ and the difference in energy is (5.54 x 10⁻⁴) - (3.24 x 10⁻⁴) = 2.3 x 10⁻⁴ mJ
Therefore we need about 2.3 x 10⁻⁴ mJ of energy to change a spherical droplet of water of diameter 1.2 mm into 5 identical smaller droplets

Nitrogen is used to keep food frozen during transportation.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Gaseous nitrogen has unique chemical and physical properties that make it suitable for use in food processing. Nitrogen is inert which means it will not react with prepared food materials, which can alter their aromas or flavors. Also, gaseous nitrogen will effectively displace oxygen minimizing oxidation and the growth of microorganisms that cause foods to lose their freshness and deteriorate faster.
