Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To estimate the molecular size of olive oil based on the given problem, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a drop of olive oil with a radius of 0.30 mm that spreads into a circular film with a radius of 12 cm. We need to find the molecular size of the olive oil, assuming that the film is one molecule thick. ### Step 2: Convert Units Convert the radius of the olive oil drop from millimeters to centimeters for consistency. - Radius of the drop, \( r = 0.30 \, \text{mm} = 0.030 \, \text{cm} \) ...
