RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Increasing the surface area of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions and increases the reaction rate. Several smaller particles have more surface area than one large particle. The more surface area that is available for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -The surface area of reactants affects the rate of reaction. If the size of a particle is small, the surface area will be more and this increases the speed of heterogeneous chemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -By increasing the surface area of reactant, rate of reaction increases due to greater contact between individual particles and also due to the fact that the surface molecules reacts more quickly.

Detailed explanation-4: -Surface Area / Particle Size Breaking the reactant into smaller pieces increases the surface and more particles are exposed to the reaction mixture. This results in an increased frequency of collisions and therefore a faster rate of reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -With an increase in surface area of reactants, the rate of reaction increases.
