As the surface area of a solute increases, so does its solubility. This is because there is more area for the solvent to contact the solute and thus the solvent is able to interact with more of the solute at one time and dissolve it quicker. Think about a cube of sugar and a sheet of sugar, each the same mass. The sheet will dissolve quicker in water because so much of it is already interacting with the water molecules. The cube will not dissolve as fast because there are still molecules of sugar on the inside of the cube that will have to wait to interact with the water molecules.

Definition of surface area?
It is the area of the exposed surface. So if you take a cube, the surface area is the sum of the areas of each of the 6 faces. They are all the same in the case of a cube. In general, add up the surface area of each exposed surface and this is the total surface area.
