Does the size of sugar affect the speed at which it dissolves in water?

greater surface area to volume ratio greater the rate of dissolution it will dissolve faster if broken into smaller pieces hence smaller = faster

When you divide two fractions is the quotient always smaller than the dividend?

yes


What defines dividing data streams into smaller pieces suitable for transmission?

Segmentation is process of dividing data streams into smaller pieces suitable for transmission. This done so it can fit into a transmission control protocol or TCP segment so it does not violate the rules concerning the maximum data amount in a segment.


What happens to surface area when rocks are broken into smaller pieces?

As a substance is broken, the surface area greatly increases. For example a 2 meter cube has a total surface area of 24 square meters. If a 1 meter cube is cut out of one corner, the total surface area is now 30 square meters.


What is the purpose of breaking food into smaller pieces in physical digestion?

to increase surface area


Why is it helpful to have rocks broken into smaller and smaller pieces?

It is helpful because it increases surface area available for the chemical weathering process.


What is size of solute?

It is the amount of surface of a solute that is exposed to the solvent. The smaller the pieces of the solute are, the larger the surface area that is exposed to the solvent.

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.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of adding ice in one large pieces rather than in sevaral small pieces in the calorimeter during the experiment of finding the latent heat of water?

It's a cumulative effect, the surface area difference of the large vs small pieces increases as melt does. Besides over time, the smaller pieces of ice have a greater surface area exposed to the liquid associated with the large pieces, smaller pieces have a larger surface area exposed as a ratio to their overall mass as time goes on.
