Diffusion

First experiment we did was simple.

The aim of the experiment was to determine what made the potassium manganate (VII) turn the water, purple.

You just need to add a few drops of potassium manganate (VII) into a beaker full of water.

What made the water turned purple?

The answer is diffusion occured.
Diffusion is the spread of particles through random motions from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

And this is how diffusion looks like when potassium manganate (VII) is added into a beaker of water.


Another important thing to remind you all.

POTASSIUM MANGANATE (VII) IS PURPLE COLOUR. :)
