129. Compare graphically the viscosity values ​​of the SiO2 hydrosol found experimentally (see table) with those calculated using the Einstein equation. Determine the mass concentration of SiO2 at which structure formation begins. Particle shape factor α = 2.5; the density of SiO2 and water, respectively, is 2.7 g/cm3 and 1 g/cm3, the viscosity of water is 1*10-3 Pa*s.
