Explain what is the average size of an oil molecule

Reference no: EM13501479

In 1773 Ben Franklin poured a teaspoon of oil onto a pond. He observed that it spread out to form a film that covered an area of about 22,000 ft2. If a teaspoon has a volume of about 5 cm3 and if the film was roughly one molecule thick, then what is the average size (length) of an oil molecule in centimeters?
