In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of olive oil, a drop of oil of volume 0.24mm³ was placed on a clean water surface. The oil spread into a patch of area 4.2 x 10⁴mm². Estimate the size of a molecule of olive oil and express your answer in meters.

Answers


Davis
Volume of the drop =0.24mm³
Area of the patch =4.2 x 10^4mm^2
v= Ah
h = V/A =0.24/(4.2×?10?^4 )
h=5.714×?10?^(-6)mm
Thickness= 5.714 x 10^-9 m.
