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 the surface area and volume of each solid below?
what is the surface area and volume of each solid below
If the dimensions of a solid are measured in feet then the surface area of the solid would be measured in?
Then the surface area of the solid would be measured in square feet
Why does a powdered solid have a larger surface area than a solid lump?
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
When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area
How do you find the surface area of two similar solids?
you put: a squared over b squared = surface area of the smaller solid over surface area of the bigger solid
How do you find the surface area for a 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.
What is the name of sum of the areas of all faces of a solid figure?
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.
Why does crushing a solid increase the speed at which the solid dissolves?
ALL reactions (apart from Nuclear) take place on the surface. By crushing the solid you are increasing the surface area and also the SA/Volume ratio. This increased surface area increases the area available for the dissolution reaction.
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. :)
Does a solid dissolve faster when it is ground because grinding decreases the surface area?
Yes, it is true, the surface area is now higher.
Why do we increase the why do we increase the surface area of a solid when dissolving?
We increase the surface area of a solid when dissolving to speed up the dissolution process. This is because a larger surface area allows for more contact between the solid and the solvent, leading to faster and more efficient dissolution. Additionally, increasing the surface area can also help achieve a more uniform dissolution throughout the solid.
