-Straw

Method

-Place the 250 ml beaker on your workbench and allow to become settled.

-Using the tweezers, place a single crystal of potassium permanganate in the bottom centre of the beaker using a straw.

-Observe for 5 minutes

-Repeat the experiment using hot water.

-The particles in the hot water cause it to move more causing it to move apart eachother faster rather than the cold water.
