Solution

The surface tension of a liquid is a measure of the strength of the liquid's surface. A liquid with a higher surface tension can support a heavier particle on its surface than a liquid with a lower surface tension.

In the first experiment, if the particles are small enough, they will stay on the surface of both Liquid X and Liquid Y due to the surface tension of the liquids.

In the second experiment, the heaviest mass of particle (mX and mY) that will stay on each liquid's surface without sinking is measured. Since Liquid Y has a higher surface tension than Liquid X, it can support a heavier particle on its surface. Therefore, mY will be greater than mX.
