Question

What is the Major problem with trying to observe during Brownian Motion?


Open in App
Solution

Brownian motion:

  • Brownian motion is the zig-zag movement of colloidal particles in the dispersion medium.
  • Brownian motion is independent of the nature of colloidal particles.
  • The smaller the size of the particle and the solution is less viscous, the faster will be the Brownian motion.
  • An example of Brownian motion is the diffusion in the air or Calcium diffuses into bones.

Problems in Brownian motion:

  • The major problem that is observed during the Brownian movement is that due to an increase in particle size, the chances of unequal bombardment decrease.
  • Therefore, Brownian motion also disappears.
