Which molecule has more potential energy: a molecule on the surface or a molecule below the surface?

$A$ soap bubble of radius $R$ is blown. After heating a solution,a second bubble of radius $2R$ is blown. The work required to blow the $2^{nd}$ bubble in comparison to that required for the $1^{st}$ bubble is

The work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius $R$ is $W_1$ and that of radius $2R$ is $W_2$. The ratio of $W_1$ to $W_2$ is

$A$ mercury drop of radius $1 \,cm$ is sprayed into $10^6$ drops of equal size. The energy expended in joules is (Surface tension of mercury is $460 \times 10^{-3} \,N/m$)

If $W_1$ is the work done in increasing the radius of a soap bubble from $r$ to $2r$ and $W_2$ is the work done in increasing the radius of the soap bubble from $2r$ to $3r$,then $W_1: W_2=$

$A$ big drop is formed by coalescing $1000$ small droplets of water. The ratio of surface energy of $1000$ droplets to that of the energy of the big drop is $\frac{10}{x}$. The value of $x$ is . . . . . . .
