\[\frac{ kg }{ 1 }\frac{ m ^{3} }{ kg }= \text{ volume of oil} \] then divide by the area to get approximate diameter of molecule. it's all in the units.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

don't you just multiply the radius by 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you convert the mass of the oil into a volume via the density. from there you divide the volume by the area to get a linear measure which is the thickness of the the slick, approximately the diameter of the oil molecule.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me with step by step using formulas. I am having toruble following you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do we get the area?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

start with the mass and convert to volume withthe density... \[\frac{ 9\times 10^{-7} kg}{ 1 }\times \frac{ m ^{3} }{ 918 kg } = 9.80 \times 10^{-10} m ^{3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thta's the volume.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so hwo do we find the area and get ot the diameter?
