• Resumen

  • While studying the calming effect of oil on water, Benjamin Franklin made other interesting observations and arrived at conclusions related to chemical concepts and phenomena unusual for scientists of that time. A careful analysis of Franklin's article on wave damping can lead to discussions on different topics in chemistry, and may be an interesting manner to present chemical concepts in introductory chemistry courses.
