If you're referring to a cell and it's membrane, then the greater the surface area of the outer cell membrane, the faster osmosis will occur. This is because the water will have more room to etner the cell through the membrane.
Yes. There are ways to do that, but it depends on what you wish to change the surface area of. Changing the surface area of something like, say, a shotput is difficult, but changing the surface area of a balloon can be accomplished by merely blowing it up (more) or deflating it.
the smaller each bit of the tablet, the larger the surface area is hence the quickier the reaction will take place... chemstry 101 the smaller each bit of the tablet, the larger the surface area is hence the quickier the reaction will take place... chemstry 101
Not necessarily just changing the surface area causes the rate to change. Changing the ratio of surface area volume changes the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. If the surface area is larger and the volume of a solute is smaller or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent increases. If the surface area is smaller and the volume of the solute is larger or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent decreases.
Osmosis is the movement of water across a partially permeable membrane down the concentration gradiant from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until an equilibrium is achieved.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration--not to be confused with osmosis, which is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane.
If a potato has a larger surface are:volume ratio, it will be affected by osmosis more quickly that a potato with a smaller surface are:volume ratio. Presumably a potato with a larger mass will have a smaller SA:Vol ratio, and as such will be less affected.
The higher the ratio, the faster and more efficient osmosis occurs.
Factors that affect the rate of osmosis include the concentration gradient between the solutions, the surface area of the membrane through which osmosis is occurring, the thickness of the membrane, and the temperature of the solutions. Additionally, the presence of solutes that can affect the water potential of the solutions will also impact the rate of osmosis.
Factors that affect osmosis include concentration gradient, temperature, surface area available for exchange, and the size of the molecules involved. These factors can impact the rate and direction of water movement across a semi-permeable membrane.
Changing the type of surface area can affect sliding friction because different materials have different levels of smoothness and roughness. A smoother surface will typically have less sliding friction as there is less resistance between the two surfaces. In contrast, a rougher surface will create more friction due to increased contact points and resistance.
Factors that affect osmosis include concentration gradient, pressure, temperature, and permeability of the membrane. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
Mass does not directly affect surface area. Surface area is a measure of the total area of an object's external surfaces, while mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. However, as the mass of an object increases, its volume typically increases as well, which can indirectly affect its surface area if the shape remains constant. Objects with larger masses may have larger surface areas if their volume increases proportionally.
Potato size can affect osmosis because larger potatoes have a greater surface area for osmosis to occur. This means that larger potatoes may have a faster rate of osmosis compared to smaller potatoes. Additionally, a larger potato may have more cells contributing to osmotic processes, which can impact the overall osmotic potential of the potato.
If each dimension is increased by x% (a multiple of 1+x/100), then the surface area is increased by a multiple of (1+x/100)2. So doubling the length (x = 100) quadruples the area.

Surface area affect the reaction rate because the contact between finely divided particles is improved.
You can speed up osmosis by increasing the concentration gradient, raising the temperature, increasing the surface area, or reducing the thickness of the membrane. These factors can help facilitate the movement of solvent molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration more quickly.
