What will increasing the surface area of a solid do to the dissolving rate of that solid?
It will increase it, as more of the outer surface of the solid is incontact with the liquid that it is dissolving in. :)
When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area
What is the surface area of solubility?
There is no such thing as "surface area" of "solubility" since the latter refers to the maximum concentration in the solution of a solid (or liquid) in a liquid. "Surface area", as applied to such a phenomenon is meaningless. However, by *increasing* the surface area of, say, a salt, by grinding it, will increase its solubility. Maybe *that* is what the questioner meant.
What does it mean to increase the surface area of a solid?
increase the surface area of a solid means to increase the area of solid
What is an example of solid solution?
Brass is a solid solution of copper and zinc. Steel is a solid solution of iron, carbon, and perhaps other materials such as chrome or nickel.BronzeBrassSteelMince MetalLead crystal glassware
Increasing the surface are of a solid speeds the rate of solution?
yes this is correct
What would decrease the rate of solution when dissolving a solid in water?
By irritating a solution, increasing the concentration of the solute, by increasing the temperature
What does increasing the surface area of a solid do to the solution?
When the surface area is higher, it helps to dissolve it in the solution faster.
What are 5 ways to control a chemical reaction?
1) Raising the temperature. 2) Increasing the concentration (in solution). 3) Increasing the pressure (in gases). 4) Increasing the surface area of a solid. 5) Use a catalyst.

When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area
Why does a solid solute dissolve quicker if it is crushed into smaller particles?
YES by crushing it into smaller particles we increase the surface area thereby increasing its contact with the solution
How does surface tension change with increasing temperature?
as the temperature increase the molecular interaction between the liquids molecules are weaker, since hydrogen bond is the main factor for association between two molecules which are very weak bond, so it can be break easily when the temperature increase leading to decrease in surface tension
How a solution is formed?
A solution is formed as individual molecules from the solid are surrounded by molecules of solvent and then diffusing away from the surface of the solid being dissolved.

Why does physisorption decrease with the increase of temperature?
there are vanderwaals forces between the moleculs and a solid surface.
How does breaking up a solid speed dissolving in liquid?
By breaking up the solid, you are creating more surface area. Therefore, increasing the surface area will speed up dissolution.
