Question 8

Which statement correctly describes or explains this observation?

The average kinetic energy of a silica sphere is significantly greater than the average kinetic energy of an individual water molecule.

The random motion is caused by the silica spheres being bombarded unevenly by invisible water molecules.

The individual water molecules are visible as tiny, vibrating particles under the microscope.

The motion is driven primarily by electrostatic forces of repulsion between the silica spheres.
