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
Does increasing the surface area of a solid decrease the rate of solution?
no
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 of a solid figure is a flat surface?
A a solid figure on a flat surface is a plane figure (I do believe)
What is the surface area of solubility?
There is no such thing as "surface area" of "solubility" since the latter refers to the maximum concentration in the solution of a solid (or liquid) in a liquid. "Surface area", as applied to such a phenomenon is meaningless. However, by *increasing* the surface area of, say, a salt, by grinding it, will increase its solubility. Maybe *that* is what the questioner meant.
Why does physisorption decrease with the increase of temperature?
there are vanderwaals forces between the moleculs and a solid surface.
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
does solid to gas increase or decrease tempearture?
Increase
Does increasing the surface area of a solid decrease the rate of solution?
no
Why physical adsorption is reversible process?
adsorption is processs of accumulation of liquid/gases on solid surface. reversible adsorption is seen in physical adsorption where increase in pressure increases the adsorption and decrease in pressure decrease adsorption of molecules to surface that is desorption takes place
Would solid to liquid increase or decrease?
The mass remains the same.
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. :)
When an obeject is changing from a liquid to a solid does the energy increase or decrease?
The energy level decreases.
Which of the following does not increase the rate of dissolving a solid in water?
- a decrease in temperature - an increase of the particles dimensions - lack of stirring
How can liquid be turned into a solid?
the solid must reach its melting point which varies with every substance
How do you increase the rate of a reaction of a solid?
Grinding the solid into a powder increases the surface area and increases the rate of the reaction. Heating it would also increase the rate.
What can be done to make a solid solute dissolve faster in liquid solvent?
Examples:- increase the temperature- increase the pressure- stir the mixture- grind the solid solute
