Suppose you have taken a dilute solution of oleic acid in such a way that its concentration becomes $0.01 \, cm^3$ of oleic acid per $cm^3$ of the solution. Then you make a thin film of this solution (monomolecular thickness) of area $4 \, cm^2$ by considering $100$ spherical drops of radius $\left(\frac{3}{40 \pi}\right)^{1/3} \times 10^{-3} \, cm$. Then the thickness of the oleic acid layer will be $x \times 10^{-14} \, m$. Where $x$ is ...... .
