The diffusion coefficient of water in water is 2.0 × 10–9 m2/s. How long will it take for a large number of water molecules to travel a root mean square distance of 1.0 mm from their initial position in the centre of a bucket of water?

A very thin layer of oil floats at the top of a beaker of water. A droplet of dye is placed in the center of the oil and diffuses through the oil (assume the layer of oil is so thin that the diffusion is two-dimensional). After a time interval T0 has passed, the dye fills an area of 6 mm². When the time has increased to 6T0, what area will the dye fill? Give your answer in units of mm².
