We
will
carry
out
the calculation for
an
aqueous
solution of
sugar.
From
the
data
on
the
internal friction
of
the
sugar
solution cited earlier, it
follows that for
20°C
NP3
=
200
.
According
to
experiments
of
Graham
(calculated
by
Stefan), the
[60]
coefficient of diffusion
of sugar
in
water
is 0.384 at 9.5°C,
if
the
day
is
[61]
chosen
as
the unit
of
time.
The
viscosity of water at 9.5°
is 0.0135.
We
will insert
these data in
our
formula for the coefficient
of
diffusion,
even
though
they
have been
obtained
using
10%
solutions,
and
a
strict validity
of
our
formula
cannot be expected
at such
high
concentrations.
We
obtain
Neglecting
the differences
between
the values
of P
at
9.5° and 20°,
the values
found
for
NP3
and
NP
yield
[59]
NP
=
2.08.1016
.
[62]
P
=
9.9
x
10-8
cm
,
N
=
2.1
x
1023
.
The
value
found
for
N shows
satisfactory
agreement
in its order
of
[63]
magnitude
with values
found
for this
quantity
by
other
methods.
