The molecules in the drop of ink will diffuse through the entire beaker of water. This will result in a homogeneous solution because of diffusion. This will only happen if the ink is of similar density to water.

They would spread through the water molecules which is why the water would change colour slightly!

The size of ink particles is very small so they easily attract the water molecules or due to large intermolecular attraction drop of ink easily spread in a beaker of water......

The molecules of the ink would diffuse throughout the water from where they are in higher concentration to where they are in lower concentration.

Why drop of ink can spread in a beaker without stirring?

This is called diffusion. If you just leave the ink in the beaker for a while, it will eventually spread out around the beaker and all of the water will have color. For example: This is just like a restaurant, there is non-smoking half of the restaurant and there is a smoking half. The smoke will eventually spread out front he smoking corner to the non-smoking corner. Another example: If you pee in the pool, the pee will eventually spread out through the pool.


The dispersal of ink in a beaker of water in an example of what type of diffusion?

The dispersal of ink in a beaker of water is an example of diffusion. The diffusion of water into or out of a cell is called osmosis.

What happened when you drop an ink into a cloth?

Capillary action causes it to spread.


What motion is the net movement of particles of a substance from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration?

This is diffusion. No energy required, molecules do this just based on random molecular motion. Example: a drop of ink dropped into a beaker of water will "diffuse" until it is as spread out as possible.
