In water conservation, chemists spread a thin film of a certain inert material over the surface of water to cut down on the rate of evaporation of water in reservoirs. This technique was pioneered by Benjamin Franklin three centuries ago. Franklin found that 0.10 mL of oil could spread over the surface of water about 40 m 2 in area. Assuming that the oil forms a monolayer, that is. a layer that is only one molecule thick, estimate the length of each oil molecule in nanometers ( 1 nm = 1 × 10 -9 m ) .

Solution Summary: The author explains that the length of each oil molecule in nanometres is to be estimated. The conversion factor is a tion obtained from the relationship between the units.

3. A gas mixture contains 50 mol% H2 and 50 mol% He.
1.00-L samples of this gas mixture are mixed with
variable volumes of O2 (at 0 °C and 1 atm). A spark is
introduced to allow the mixture to undergo complete
combustion. The final volume is measured at 0 °C and 1
atm. Which graph best depicts the final volume as a
function of the volume of added O2?
