Why might grinding up an antacid tablet make it dissolve in acid faster?
There will be more surface area for the molecules to react
Which will dissolve faster rock salt or iodized salt?
Iodized salt, due to its relatively smaller crystal size. The smaller the salt crystals, the faster they will dissolve.
How the size of particles affect the way the particles dissolve?
The smaller the particle the faster it dissolves. This is because the process by which a solute dissolves takes place at the surface of the solvent. That means the larger the surface area of a particle or solute, the faster the solute will dissolve.

Why do sugar grain disslove faster than sugar cube in hot water?
greater area exposed to the water
What will happen when you put the whole antacid tablet into the cup and at the same time drop the crushed tablet into the second cup?
The broken tablet will dissolve faster because chemical reactions are faster when there is more surface area. By breaking the tablet, you are increasing the surface area.
Does the smaller plan go faster?
i think the smaller plan go faster because the gravity to the smaller plan is faster
Antacid tablets are used to neutralize acid in stomach explain Why two tablets are faster than one tablet?
It is better to take two antacid tablets instead of one because it will more easily travel through the blood stream. It also might get there faster.
