Question 1 of 10

Consider the following geometric solids.
A sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.3 m
A right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to
2.1 m?
What results would you expect if these two models were compared in a
diffusion test?
A. The rate of diffusion would be slower for the right cylinder,
B. The rate of diffusion would be the same for the two models.
0
C. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
D. The rate of diffusion would be faster for the sphere.

Answer 1

the rate if diffusion will be faster in the right cylinder

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area to volume ratio of the cylinder is higher. This means that in the cylinder more reactants are exposed at the surface and the rate at which diffusion takes place increases
