A water molecule has a diameter of about 0.275 nm. How many hours would it take for a water molecule to diffuse across the surface of a Starbucks Venti sized cup of coffee whose diameter is 3.8 inches? Assume that coffee is liquid H2O for your calculation. The diffusion coefficient of H2O in water is 2.26 X 109 m2s
