A dilute solution of potassium permanganate in water at 25°C was prepared. The solution was in a horizontal tube of length 10 cm, and at first, there was a Gaussian distribution of concentration around the center of the tube at x = 0, c(x) = coe^(-ax), with co = 0.100 mol dm^-3 and a = ? acting on the solute as a function of location, x, and plot the result. Give the force per mole and force per molecule in each case. What do you expect to be the consequence of the thermodynamic force?
