Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "The rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder".

Explanation:

The rate of diffusion is defined as the amount of molecules that are exchanged from a body to another. The rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the ratio of surface area to volume , where the higher the ratio of surface area to volume the higher the rate of diffusion. In this case, a sphere have a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.3 m, and a right circular cylinder have a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.1 m. Since the right cylinder have a higher ratio of surface area to volume, the rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
