Question

Explain shortly how you would calculate the sedimentation rate of a particle in a centrifugal field. List also 4 factors which may influence the sedimentation rate of a particle.

Expert Solution

Step 1: Answer

Solution:

The rate of sedimentation is proportional to the difference in the density among the medium and the particles. The sedimentation rate is considered zero when the density of the particle is came as that of the medium density. With increase in the value of medium viscosity there is a decrease in the value of sedimentation rate.
