1.	If a few spherical drops of a liquid coalesce to form a larger drop, will its temperature rise or fall? Explain.
Answer» SOLUTION :When a few spherical drops of a liquid coalesce to form a larger DROP, the surface AREA decreases. As a result, some surface energy is released. Thisis surface energy is CONVERTED into heat energy, thereby the temperature of the LARGE drop increases.
