Diffusion — practice question

The formula for methane is $\text{CH}_4$ and the formula for ethane is $\text{C}_2\text{H}_6$. Which row gives the definition of diffusion and compares the relative rates of diffusion for methane and ethane?

  • Aparticles move from a high concentration to a low concentration; ethane diffuses more quickly than methane
  • Bparticles move from a high concentration to a low concentration; methane diffuses more quickly than ethane
  • Cparticles move from a low concentration to a high concentration; ethane diffuses more quickly than methane
  • Dparticles move from a low concentration to a high concentration; methane diffuses more quickly than ethane
