Detailed Solution

The energy needed to change causes the bubble's size to expand,

Surface tension of the soap solution =T, 

initial radius of the soap bubble =r, 

and final radius of the soap bubble =2r

We know that the energy required to blow a soap bubble with radius r, E1=2×4πr2×T=8πr2T

Energy required to blow radius 2r E2=2×4π(2r)2T=32πr2T

Extra energy needed is

 E2-E1=32πr2T-8πr2T=24πr2T

Hence the correct answer is 24πr2T.
