§5 · From displacement to molecular scale

Read the displacement argument, ask for its missing steps, and investigate the same relationships in three working laboratories.

This is newly authored explanatory text in modern notation, with editorial review pending. It is not the German source, an English translation, or a complete edition of the paper. The reviewed source faces and pinned facsimile remain in preparation. Section headings identify the argument being discussed, not a completed source inventory.

Why viscosity changes the spread

Combining ideal osmotic pressure with mobility and diffusive balance relates diffusivity to temperature, viscosity and radius.

What would let us count molecules?

Displacement constrains diffusivity; independent radius, viscosity, temperature and gas-constant information are needed to infer molecular number.
