Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 4 - No. 38)

Why is a larger surface area of a solid reactant beneficial?
It increases the number of collisions between reactants.
It decreases the temperature of the reaction.
It lowers the activation energy.
It reduces the concentration of reactants.

Explanation

A larger surface area exposes more reactant particles, allowing for more frequent collisions.
