The rate of a chemical reaction can be raised by increasing the surface area of a solid reactant. This is done by cutting the substance into small pieces, or by grinding it into a powder. If the surface area of a reactant is increased: More particles are exposed to the other reactant, there are more collisions, the rate of reaction increases.
The rate of reaction increases as there are more areas to react with- imagine a perfect ice sculpter and an ice sculpter that smashed, the smashed one will melt faster as there is more heat reaching more if the sculpter

Surface area affect the reaction rate because the contact between finely divided particles is improved.
They can all affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
surface area has simple constant factor with the rate of reaction. Rate = (surface area)[concentrations with coefficients] the greater the surface area the greater the rate of reaction in a simple constant multiple.
The powdered solid has a greater surface area than the single lump of solid. So the larger the surface area of the solid, the faster the reaction will be. Increasing the surface area of the solid increases the chances of collision taking place between the molecules of reactants, if it is a reaction in liquid or gaseous phase.
If you do a chalk experiment, you will find out that increasing the surface area speeds the rate of weathering. The reaction/weathering will happen quicker. Most people are doing this in science. Your welcome
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.
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
The surface area of a rock has a big affect on the rate of weathering. The higher the surface area of the rock in proportion to its overall mass will result in a quicker rate of weathering of the rock.

Factors affecting the rate of reaction 1. Temperature 2. Catalyst 3. Concentrations of the reactants 4. Nature of the reactants 5. Surface area of the reactants
more surface area= faster rate of weathering
How does slope affect the rate of weathering
