That depends upon the shape of the particles.
* If they are spherical, the surface area is 4*pi*r^2, where r is the radius of the particle. * If they are cuboidal, the surface area is b*w*h, where b, w, h are the lengths of the sides
Particle size can affect various reactions such as dissolution rate, surface area available for reaction, and diffusion rates. Smaller particle sizes increase the surface area, leading to faster reactions, while larger particle sizes can reduce the reaction rate due to lower surface area available for reaction.
Particle size affects solubility. When particle size is small, the surface area per unit volume is larger, thus the solubility is increased.
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.
The amount of substance exposed on the surface depends on the surface area of the substance. A substance with a larger surface area will have more exposed surface compared to a substance with a smaller surface area. Factors like particle size and shape can also affect the amount of substance exposed on the surface.
Cells with a larger surface area-to-volume ratio, such as small cells like bacteria or single-celled organisms, will typically have a faster rate of diffusion across the surface. This is because a larger surface area allows for more space for molecules to diffuse in and out of the cell more efficiently.
Particle size affects solubility. When particle size is small, the surface area per unit volume is larger, thus the solubility is increased.
For the amount of material in the particle the surface area of a small particle is greater than a larger particle. Said another way, the surface area per unit volume is greater for a smaller particle. Dissolving speed is related to the surface area. Therefore a smaller particle dissolves faster than a larger particle.
Particle size can affect various reactions such as dissolution rate, surface area available for reaction, and diffusion rates. Smaller particle sizes increase the surface area, leading to faster reactions, while larger particle sizes can reduce the reaction rate due to lower surface area available for reaction.
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Soil particle size influences water retention: small particles like clay hold more water due to their larger surface area and ability to hold onto water molecules, while larger particles like sand drain water more quickly. For nutrient retention, small particles also have more surface area to hold onto nutrients, while larger particles allow for nutrients to leach deeper into the soil profile.
As a cell becomes larger the surface area to volume ratio gets smaller. The volume increases by the square of the surface area. That is the main reason that one celled organisms are small.
Hydraulic.
As particle size increases, capillarity decreases because larger particles have lower surface area-to-volume ratio, reducing the ability to draw in and hold water through capillary action. This is because larger particles have less surface area available for water to cling to compared to smaller particles.
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
Breaking down of large macromolecules to monomers is known as catabolism. More the substance is broken down, larger its surface area gets. A particle with more surface area can be easily be metabolized by our body. Enzymes can act with full tendency on particles that have larger surface area and then an be easily digested and absorbed by out boy.
A system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
Particle size affects solubility. When particle size is small, the surface area per unit volume is larger, thus the solubility is increased.
