It reacts with other chemicaps a lot faster because there are more particles readily available at one point in time for reactions to occur

What does it mean to increase the surface area of a solid?
increase the surface area of a solid means to increase the area of solid
When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area
What will increasing the surface area of a solid do to the dissolving rate of that solid?
It will increase it, as more of the outer surface of the solid is incontact with the liquid that it is dissolving in. :)
What is the surface area of solubility?
There is no such thing as "surface area" of "solubility" since the latter refers to the maximum concentration in the solution of a solid (or liquid) in a liquid. "Surface area", as applied to such a phenomenon is meaningless. However, by *increasing* the surface area of, say, a salt, by grinding it, will increase its solubility. Maybe *that* is what the questioner meant.
How do you find the surface area for a solid?
It really depends on what solid you refer to. Basically, the surface area is basically taking a shape's net and finding the area of that.
What does it mean to increase the surface area of a solid?
increase the surface area of a solid means to increase the area of solid
When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area

Why does crushing a solid increase the speed at which the solid dissolves?
ALL reactions (apart from Nuclear) take place on the surface. By crushing the solid you are increasing the surface area and also the SA/Volume ratio. This increased surface area increases the area available for the dissolution reaction.
What happens to the Surface Area of a cube if each edge is multiplied by 7?
The surface area increase by a factor of 49.
What is superficial expansion?
Superficial expansion is the increase in surface area of 1 meter square area of a solid for rise of temperature, 1kelvin is called the coefficient of surface expansion of material of that solid.
How do you increase the rate of a reaction of a solid?
Grinding the solid into a powder increases the surface area and increases the rate of the reaction. Heating it would also increase the rate.
How can you increase the surface area of a solid reactant?
It exposes more of the solid to whatever you want to mix it with so that whatever you are doing, whether it be a physical or chemical change, will take place more rapidly.
How does increasing the surface area of a solid reactant affect the energy of molecular collisions?
Reactions depend on molecular collisions. If a solid reactant is a solid, grinding it into smaller particles will increase the surface area. The more surface area, the faster the molecular collisions, which in turn increases the rate of reaction.
What happens to the surface area and volume when the height of a three-dimensional solid is doubled?
The change in the surface area depends on the shape. The volume will double.
Why does grinding a solid into powder increase reaction rate?
Increased surface area for reaction to occur on
What can be done to make a solid solute dissolve faster in liquid solvent?
Examples:- increase the temperature- increase the pressure- stir the mixture- grind the solid solute
