For water at the room temperature, the velocity of a molecule of food color is about 0.8x104 cm/s and the mean free path is on the order of 10-8 cm.  Calculate the time required to displace this molecule by 0.75x10-3 cm. Assume that the diffusion is independent of the mass of this molecule. Notation: 10^n is equivalent to 10n
