Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A small particle diffuses in water with a coefficient of D = 2.5×10⁻¹⁰ m²/s. Calculate the distance it will travel after 5 seconds. Show your calculations.

💡 Hint: Remember to apply the square root to find the distance, not just the mean square displacement.

Question 2

Discuss how enhancing the diffusion coefficient can improve the effectiveness of a drug delivery system. What factors may influence this coefficient in actual systems?

💡 Hint: Think about how temperature and medium characteristics change the behavior of molecules.
