What is the relationship between surface area and rate of reaction?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
The increase in surface area of reactants increases the contact between reacting molecules, atoms or ions so the rate of reaction becomes increased.

Why does crushing help a solid solute dissolve?
The rate of dissolution of a solid is dependent on the surface area reaction. By crushing the cube, the surface area is greatly increased, thus increasing the rate of dissolution.
How does changing the shape of an antacid tablet affect how fast it breaks down?
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
How does a large surface area help the function of a system?
A surface is where things happen between what is on one side of the surface and the other. Thus in general if you want more of these happenings (eg gas exchange) you need the biggest possible surface area. If however you want to minimise these happenings (eg heat loss) you try and reduce the surface area.
How does an increase in surface area help a solute dissolve more quickly?
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.
What specialized area of forensic science examines the relationship between human behavior and legal proceedings?
Forensic Psychiatry
Is the relationship between the area of a face of a cube and the surface area of the cube a linear relationship?
Yes, it is.
What is the relationship between the surface area of the skin amount and heat lost through the skin?
the difference between this is that surface area
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 volume of a rectangular prism?
There is no direct relationship.
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.
Relationship between surface area and rate of reaction?
The greater the Surface Area: Volume Ration SA/V the faster the diffusion should take place.
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.
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.
What relationship between surface area and volume must organisms achieve to ensure efficient delivery of nutrients?
maximize surface area and minimize volume
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.
What is the relationship between surface area and weathering rate?
The rate of weathering also depends on the surface area that is exposed. Mechanical weathering breaks rocks into smaller pieces. As the pieces get smaller, their surface area increases. When this happens, there is more total surface area available for chemical weathering. The result is that weathering has more of an effort on smaller particles.
