Okay, here is the question that confuses me greatly.
Can anyone explain to me the answer and how you got it?
Thank you so much !
In water conservation, chemists spread a thin film of certain inert materials over the surface of water to cut down on the rate of evaporation of water in reservoirs. This technique was pioneered by Benjamin Franklin. Franklin found that 0.10 mL of oil could spread over the surface of water of about 10.0 m^2 in area.
Assuming that oil forms a monolayer estimate the length of each oil molecule in nanometers. Assume that oil molecules are roughly cubic. (1 nm = 1 x 10^-9 m)
