4. Benjamin Franklin conducted carly experiments on lipids (1774). He poured oil on a pond and observed the following: "The oil, though not more than a teaspoonful, produced an instant calm over a space several yards square, which spread amazingly and extended itself gradually until it reached the leeside, making all that quarter of the pond, perhaps half an acre, as smooth as a looking glass." Based on Franklin's measurements of the spreading of this spoonful of oil, A. What are the dimensions of an oil molecule? B. What's the thickness of a cell membrane? Note: To begin your calculations, you should convert acre and teaspoon into SI units.
