yes. Lets for example take a potato cube put in a jar of water. if the potato cube has a large surface area, then more of its surface will be exposed to water molecules, meaning that more can diffuse into it more quickly.
The larger the surface area the more pressure can be spread out, therefore it is less likely to fall through the snow. As pressure = f / a.
For a cube with edge length, L. Surface area = 6L2. Volume = L3. So ratio of Surface Area / Volume = 6 / L. Therefore, as the side length, L, increases, the ratio will decrease.
yes heat loss is affected by diameter, circumference and surface area. Heat loss depends on the surface area : volume ratio.......the larger this is the more heat is lost if a cylinder having the same volume but a different surface area...(therefre radius and circumference is different)........the cylinder having the larger surface area will loose heat fastest
I will rephrase your question: What happens to the surface area of a cube when the volume doubles. Ans. Surface area becomes 1.5876 times larger. Explanation: Let L = the length of the side of the original cube and h x L the length of the cube that is double the volume. Now: Vol= L^3 x 2 = (h x L)^3 or h = 2^(1/3) = 1.2599, so the length will be 1.2599 times larger. Surface area = 6 x L^2 for original cube and 6 x L^2 x 1.2599^2 for the cube with twice the volume. 1.2599^2 = 1.5876 If you are asking what happens to the surface area when the sides double, then the larger cube has surface area = 6 * 2^2 * L^2 , so 6 * 2^2 = 24. Each side is 4 times larger so the total surface area is 24 times larger.
FALSE!
Yes, a larger surface area allows for more contact between the molecules involved in diffusion and the surrounding environment, facilitating a faster exchange of molecules. This is because more molecules can be in contact with the surface at the same time, increasing the rate of diffusion.
Diffusion is the movement of particles across a selectively permeable membrane, from a high concentration to a low concentration. So the larger the surface area, the quicker the rate of diffusion because there is more space to diffuse in.
larger the size, the smaller the surface area to volume ratio, hence the slower the rate of diffusion into the agar jelly :)
the surfaces with larger surface area radiate heat quickly as compared to those with lower surface area
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
Diffusion is inadequate to move gases through the surface and into all parts of a larger animal body. However, diffusion alone is sufficient to move gases in and out of the thin body of a planarian.
To increase the surface area of the tubule. It creates a larger surface area for re-absorption to occur, and thus more diffusion can occur at once.
As the volume of a cell grows, the surface area grows but not as quickly.
molecular diffusion spreading more when in a larger area
Molecular Diffusion Of Light
A powder has a larger surface area.
In a chemical reaction it is likely that a single cube will react more quickly than an equal mass of sugar crystals. This is due to the fact that the surface area of a single cube is much smaller than the total surface area of the sugar crystals. The larger surface area of the sugar crystals increases the amount of time it takes for the reactants to reach the surface and begin the reaction.The following points explain why a single cube would react more quickly than an equal mass of sugar crystals: A single cube has a much smaller surface area than an equal mass of sugar crystals. The smaller surface area of the single cube allows the reactants to reach the surface and begin the reaction more quickly. The larger surface area of the sugar crystals increases the amount of time it takes for the reactants to reach the surface and begin the reaction.In conclusion it is likely that a single cube will react more quickly than an equal mass of sugar crystals due to the larger surface area of the sugar crystals.
