Question
There is a colloid in which diameter 300 nm particles are dispersed in water. Find the distance traveled by Brown diffusion(x=(2Dt)^1/2 ) and the distance traveled by sedimentation here, and tell me which is the main behavior between sedimentation and diffusion.
here, D=1.0*10^-12m^2/s And particle density is 2.5 g/cm^3
There is stoke equation in picture.
