Sara sets up an experiment to test the rate of the diffusion of 2 unknown molecules, blue and red. In petri dish 1, Sara adds an unknown concentration of the blue molecule. In petri dish 2, Sara adds an unknown concentration of the red molecule. Every 10 minutes, for 30 minutes, Sara measures the diameter of the pool in each dish to produce the following data table: 10 minutes 20 minutes 30 minutes Blue 8 mm 12 mm 14 mm Red 10 mm 15 mm 17 mm Based on this data, Sara concludes that the Red molecule must be smaller than the Blue molecule. Is it reasonable to make this conclusion? Explain why or why not in a few sentences.
