assume that movement of a molecule is limited. it can move to the opposite side of the container or stay where it is. if the movement is random, what is the probability (0-100%) that the molecule will move to the opposite side?



Answer :

The Probability that that the molecule will move to the opposite side is 50%  .

In the question ,

it is given that

there a molecule is free to move to the opposite side of the container , or stay where where it is ,

As per the given information

the molecule can move to opposite side or stay where it is ,

and the movement of the molecule is random

as the container had two sides ( shown in figure given below )

the probability that the molecule moves to the opposite side is 1/2 ,

in percent it can be written as 50%  .

the correct option is (c) .

Therefore , The Probability that that the molecule will move to the opposite side is 50%  .

The given question is incomplete , the complete question is

Assume that movement of a molecule is limited. it can move to the opposite side of the container or stay where it is. if the movement is random, what is the probability (0-100%) that the molecule will move to the opposite side?

(a) 0%
