The question says:
Suppose that oil consists of molecules of CH2. This means that 1 mol of oil, consisting of 6.02x10^23 molecules, has a mass of 14g. One mililiter of oil has a mass of of 0.95g. When this much oil is poured on water, it does not spread forever but spreads unti it makes a circular film of area 1.5x10^7 cm^2. How does the fact that the oil does not spread forever support the idea of atoms and molecules? Assuming that the oil slick is one molecule thick, with the molecules touching, and the molecules are spheres, ESTIMATE THE SIZE OF AN OIL MOLECULE.
PLEASE HELP! I need answer of the question, as well as how to get to the answer.
Thank you guys in advance
