Yes, and violently so.
That depends which chemicals you are using, certain chemicals react a lot faster or heavier than others.
The small pieces have a larger combined surface area than the previous large piece had. When you cut the block into pieces, you are exposing new surfaces that were previously on the inside of the block. And the process of dissolving happens at the surface. So the more surface is exposed, the faster something can dissolve.
This is to do with surface area. With the same amount of food cut into smaller pieces, the water is in contact with a greater amount of the food. This means two things:- 1) more of the food is being cooked at one time 2) because all the pieces are smaller it will take less time to cook the pieces properly because they are smaller.
Alkali metals are more reactive than alkaline earth metals.
no
yes
Iodide is a better leaving group than chloride so iodomethane would react faster.
Potassium reacts faster and violently with acids than sodium.
Small pieces of clay. The totality of the clay minerals present in small pieces of clay would be washed away more quickly than the totality of the clay minerals present in the large blocks of clay. Granite, large pieces or small, would weather more slowly than clay.
Yes, and violently so.
The smaller pieces have more total surface area with which to interact with the liquid, thus the liquid can disolve them faster than the whole marshmallow.

Powdered zinc reacts faster because it has a greater surface area than the large pieces.
Chunk is to cut into larger pieces or chunks, rather than fine or small pieces.
