Area of the film = ${\pi}r^2$ = 3.14 × 10 × 10 = 314 cm2 = 31,400 mm2
Thickness of the oil film = volume / area, hence 0.10 / 31,400 = 3.0 × 10-6 mm. (The
thickness of the oil film is called upper limit to the size of molecule because the molecule
cannot be bigger than the thickness of the oil film).
