The aver-age instantaneous velocity of a particle in solution—that is,the velocity between the very frequent collisions—isv = (kT/m)½where k = 1.38 × 10–16 g cm2/K sec2, T = temperature in K(37°C is 310 K), and m = mass in g/molecule.Calculate the instantaneous velocity of a watermolecule (molecular mass = 18 daltons), a glucose mol-ecule (molecular mass = 180 daltons), and a myoglobinmolecule (molecular mass = 15,000 daltons) at 37°C.
