Answer:

Diffusion and Dispersion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two processes that took place in the given experiment are Diffusion and Dispersion.

When a crystal of potassium magnet is added placed in the bottom of a beaker which contains cold water, after 5 minutes the particles of potassium magnet will diffuse with water through diffusion process and the colour of water turns purple.

After few hours, the colour of solution goes light purple because the tiny particles which were diffused earlier will dispersed in the water and the particles will spread and make the solution lighter in colour.

Hence, the two processes are Diffusion and Dispersion.
