4 What happens when you increase the surface area of reactants in a reaction?

In general increasing surface area will increase the rate of a reaction by allowing more sites for the reaction to take place. However it is hard to answer this question without knowing the specific material in question.


If the volume of a cell increases its surface area will?

increase as well, but at a slower rate than the volume. This is due to the relationship between surface area and volume in a cell. As the cell grows, its surface area to volume ratio decreases, causing it to become less efficient at exchanging nutrients and wastes with its environment.


How can you increase the surface to volume ratio of a basketball and a tennis ball?

The tennis ball. But do you know why? The anser to that is in the relationship between the fomula for a shere's volum and that of it's surface area. Area is a radius squared function whereas volume is a radius cubed function.


Convolutions of the brain provide increased what?

Convolutions of the brain provide increased surface area for more neurons to be packed in, allowing for greater processing power in a compact space. This increased surface area also enables more connections between neurons, facilitating complex information processing and cognitive functions.


Why is the cerebral cortex highly folded?

The folding of the cerebral cortex increases its surface area, allowing for more neurons to be packed into a confined space. This increased surface area enables more complex neural processing and higher cognitive functions by maximizing the connections between neurons.

What is the relationship between surface area and rate of reaction?

The increase in surface area of reactants increases the contact between reacting molecules, atoms or ions so the rate of reaction becomes increased.

What is the relationship between surface area and volume of a rectangular prism?

There is no direct relationship.


Where surface area is not affect the rate of a reaction?

Surface area affect the reaction rate because the contact between finely divided particles is improved.


What is the relationship between surface area and evaporation?

There is a direct relationship between surface area and evaporation rate. A larger surface area will lead to an increased rate of evaporation because more molecules are exposed to the air, allowing for more water to evaporate. Conversely, a smaller surface area will result in a slower rate of evaporation.


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.


What- is-the-relationship-between-cylinders'-cones'-and-spheres'-surface area?

The relationship between the surface areas of cylinders, cones, and spheres is that the surface area of a cylinder is equal to the sum of the areas of its two circular bases and its curved surface area, the surface area of a cone is equal to the sum of the area of its circular base and its curved surface area, and the surface area of a sphere is equal to four times the area of its circular base.


What is the effect of reactant surface area on the reaction rate?

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.


What is the relationship between cube size and surface area-to-volume ratio?

The ratio of the surface area of a cube to its volume is inversely proportional to the length of its side.


Explain the relationship between cell surface area and volume as a cell grows larger?

As the volume of a cell grows, the surface area grows but not as quickly.


How is the relationship between the friction and surface area of tires unusual?

Throw in variances in road surfaces with friction and tire surface area and the relationship is very unusual... you might call it a 'manage-et-trois'.
