The reason why Tin granules is mostly used or preferred than just a piece of Tin because a piece of Tin is plainly metal, in which this will be difficult in having it to be oxidized when it is exposed or in the air rather than Tin granules.

Answer:

To increase the surface area of reaction.

Explanation:

The tiny granules are used as they increase the surface-area to volume ratio. Smaller granules have a higher surface area to volume ratio. In a chemical reaction, it means that the reaction increases as there is more particle to particle reaction.

Hence the granules are preferred to solids.

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between gas particles?
saw5 [17]
Answer:
             There is more space between gas particles than the size of the particles.

Explanation:
                   This scenario can be understand by taking a very simple example. As we know that 1 mole of any gas at standard temperature and pressure occupy 22.4 liters of volume. Lets take Hydrogen gas and Oxygen gas, 1 mole of each gas will occupy same volume. Why it is so? Why same volume although Oxygen is 16 times more heavier? This is because the space between gas molecules is very large. Approximately the distance between gas molecules is 300 times greater than their own diameter from its neighbor molecules.
