Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 2 - No. 9)
Which of the following is the correct relationship between the surface area of a solid reactant and the rate of a reaction?
As the surface area increases, the rate of reaction decreases.
As the surface area decreases, the rate of reaction decreases.
As the surface area increases, the rate of reaction increases.
Surface area does not affect the rate of reaction.
Explanation
Increasing the surface area provides more opportunities for the reaction to occur.
