Question

Explain how surface area affects the rate of reaction

Answer 1

$\huge\underbrace\mathfrak\red{answer}$$<b><marquee>$Effect of increasing surface area on the rate of a reaction. ... Increasing the surface areaof a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Surface area surely affects the rate of a reaction . Greater the surface are greater is the rate of reaction. In a reaction some bonds break and some new bonds are formed. Thus for this breakage and formation larger surface area of the reactant will trigger the rate of the reaction. It will provide surface for the reaction to take place and thus speeds up the reaction. The surface area of solid reactants is increased by cutting the reactant into pieces or grinding it.! An example in daily life is that powdered sugar dissolves faster in water than crystals of sugar!

Thus more surface area increases the rate of a reaction!
