Does increasing the surface area of a solid decrease the rate of solution?
no
What does increasing the surface area of a solid do to the solution?
When the surface area is higher, it helps to dissolve it in the solution faster.
What are 5 ways to control a chemical reaction?
1) Raising the temperature. 2) Increasing the concentration (in solution). 3) Increasing the pressure (in gases). 4) Increasing the surface area of a solid. 5) Use a catalyst.
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. :)
Why does a solid solute dissolve quicker if it is crushed into smaller particles?
YES by crushing it into smaller particles we increase the surface area thereby increasing its contact with the solution
What would decrease the rate of solution when dissolving a solid in water?
By irritating a solution, increasing the concentration of the solute, by increasing the temperature
How a solution is formed?
A solution is formed as individual molecules from the solid are surrounded by molecules of solvent and then diffusing away from the surface of the solid being dissolved.
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 does breaking up a solid speed dissolving in liquid?
By breaking up the solid, you are creating more surface area. Therefore, increasing the surface area will speed up dissolution.
How does surface area of an object affect gravity?
increasing the surface area of reactants in a solid form the speed of reaction is increased the contact between the solid reactants or liquids and gas.
How does the surface area affect the rate of a reaction?
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.
How a solutions forms.?
A solution is formed as individual molecules from the solid are surrounded by molecules of solvent and then diffusing away from the surface of the solid being dissolved.
