Explanation

The average translational kinetic energy of a molecule in an ideal gas is given by the formula:

E=3/2​kT

Where:

• $k = 1.38 times 10^{-23} , text{J/K}$ (Boltzmann constant)

• T=27∘C=300K (since 27°C + 273 = 300 K)

Now calculate:

E=3​/2×1.38×10^−23×300
E=3/2​×4.14×10^−21

6.21×10^−21 J

Explanation

• Diffusion is the random movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, resulting in uniform distribution.
• In this case, the ink particles spread out and mix with the water particles, causing the color to disperse throughout the glass.
