A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.15 m
A right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to
2.2 m

diffusion test?
O
A. The rate of diffusion would be the same for the two models,

Answer:

The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller the surface area in relation to the volume, the lower the rate of diffusion. The rate of diffusion in the right cylinder would be faster because it has a larger surface area to volume ratio of 2.2m compare to that of the sphere.
