increase the surface area of a solid means to increase the area of solid
what is the surface area and volume of each solid below
Then the surface area of the solid would be measured in square feet
Each speck of the powder has a smaller surface area than the lump of solid, however the total surface area of the powder specks will be greater than that of the solid lump
You increase the surface area
you put: a squared over b squared = surface area of the smaller solid over surface area of the bigger solid
It really depends on what solid you refer to. Basically, the surface area is basically taking a shape's net and finding the area of that.
The "Surface Area" of the solid figure. Note, the word "total" in the answer above is not correct/needed - there can not be anything less than a surface area of a solid figure.
Crushing a solid increases its surface area, allowing more solvent molecules to come in contact with the solid. This increases the rate of dissolution because it enhances the interactions between the solid particles and the solvent, leading to quicker mixing and dissolution.
It will increase it, as more of the outer surface of the solid is incontact with the liquid that it is dissolving in. :)
Yes, grinding a solid increases its surface area, which allows more of the solid to come into contact with the solvent. This increased surface area speeds up the dissolution process.
Measure its diameter.The surface area of a sphere is [ pi D2 ] .
