RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -grinding a tablet into powder increases the rate of reaction by increasing the surface area. Explanation: The surface area of the reactant is directly proportional to the rate of the chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -The smaller the pieces of the tablet the faster it fizzes because the smaller pieces have more surface area. For the same amount of antacid, the crushed tablet has more surface, or exterior, to react with the water. Since the water can reach more of the tablet immediately, the reaction, or fizzing, happens faster.

Detailed explanation-3: -If the surface area of a reactant is increased: more particles are exposed to the other reactant. there is a greater chance of particles colliding, which leads to more successful collisions per second. the rate of reaction increases.

Detailed explanation-4: -When solids are made into small pieces or powder, their surface area increases. As a result the number of molecules undergoing effective collision also increases. Hence the rate or reaction increases.

Detailed explanation-5: -With an increase in surface area of reactants, the rate of reaction increases. For example: Powdered calcium carbonate reacts more quickly with hydrochloric acid than marble chips. This is because powdered calcium carbonate offers a large surface area for the reaction to occur at a faster rate. Q.
