Consider the following geometric solids.
a sphere with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 0.08 m-1.
a right circular cylinder with a ratio of surface area to volume equal to 2.1 m-1.
what results would you expect if these two models were compared in a diffusion test?

a. the rate of diffusion would be the same for the two models.
b. the rate of diffusion would be faster for the right cylinder.
c. the rate of diffusion would be slower for the right cylinder.
d. the rate of diffusion would be faster for the sphere.

Adiver named jacques observes a bubble of air rising from the bottom of a lake (where the absolute pressure is 3.50 atm) to the surface (where the pressure is 1.00 atm). the temperature at the bottom is 4.00 ∘c, and the temperature at the surface is 23.0 ∘c.what is the ratio of the volume of the bubble as it reaches the surface (vs) to its volume at the bottom (vb)? if jaques were to hold his breath the air in his lungs would be kept at a constant temperature. would it be safe for jacques to hold his breath while ascending from the bottom of the lake to the surface?
