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

∙ 13y agoThe higher the surface area the quicker the diffusion would be.
So the diffusion rate would be high. More substances can be exchanged from the internal and external environment if the surface area is big, thus, resulting in diffusion.

If the surface area is greater is the reactivity of chemical weathering greater?
the smaller the particle size, the larger the surface area exposed to weathering for a given volume of material. The presence of joints therefore increases a rock's surface area. which then changes chemical composition
How does the size of the particles affect the solubility of the solute?
Particle size affects solubility. When particle size is small, the surface area per unit volume is larger, thus the solubility is increased.
How the size of particles affect the way the particles dissolve?
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.
How does surface area affect damping of an oscillation?
The larger the surface area, the larger the damping of an oscillation
How does surface area affect collision rate?
Surface area affects collision rate because the larger the surface area the more air resistance is acting on it, therefor a larger surface area can slow down collision rate.
Why does reducing solute size particle size increase the speed at which the solute dissolves in water?
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.
How particle size affect solubility?
Particle size affects solubility. When particle size is small, the surface area per unit volume is larger, thus the solubility is increased.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
Is the surface-area-to-volume ratio of a small cell less than that of a larger cell?
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.
What is the system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area?
Hydraulic.
How does the mechanical digestin change the surface area of food?
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.
How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
What is a hyraulic system?
A system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
Which has a larger surface area powder or lumps?
A powder has a larger surface area.
