Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 3 - No. 28)
What is the relationship between the surface area of reactants and the rate of reaction?
As surface area decreases, the rate of reaction decreases.
Surface area does not affect the rate of reaction.
As surface area increases, the rate of reaction increases.
The surface area has different effects depending on the type of reaction.
Explanation
Increasing surface area leads to more contact between reactants, which increases the reaction rate.
