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.
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
When you crush a solid do you increase or decrease surface area?
You increase the surface area
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 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. :)

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 does the surface area affect the rate of a reaction?
The powdered solid has a greater surface area than the single lump of solid. So the larger the surface area of the solid, the faster the reaction will be. Increasing the surface area of the solid increases the chances of collision taking place between the molecules of reactants, if it is a reaction in liquid or gaseous phase.

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.

It will increase it, as more of the outer surface of the solid is incontact with the liquid that it is dissolving in. :)
How does increasing the surface area of a solid reactant affect the energy of molecular collisions?
Reactions depend on molecular collisions. If a solid reactant is a solid, grinding it into smaller particles will increase the surface area. The more surface area, the faster the molecular collisions, which in turn increases the rate of reaction.
