You can obtain a rough estimate of the size of a molecule with the following simple experiment: Let a droplet of oil spread out on a fairly large but smooth water surface. The resulting oil slick that forms on the surface of the water will be approximately one molecule thick. Given an oil droplet with a mass of 9.00 107 kg and a density of 918 kg/m3 that spreads out to form a circle with a radius of 41.8 cm on the water surface, what is the approximate diameter of an oil molecule? 4
