When we increase the surface area of an object, more atoms are exposed. Since more atoms are exposed, the atoms can react faster, and this is why the rate of a reaction increases when the surface area increases.
For example, lets say we want to heat a potato. If we just put the whole potato in the microwave, it will take a long time for the potato to get thoroughly heated. However, if we chop the potato into smaller pieces, we will observe that it gets heated much faster. This is because we increased the surface area of the potato, which resulted in more potato atoms to be exposed to the heat, and caused the reaction to be faster.
I think it’s :answer choice c
Melting ice cream is a physical change because it is a phase change, the water in the ice cream gains thermal energy and the inter-molecular forces are overcome and the molecules move further apart forming a liquid. It is not a chemical change because no chemical reactions occurred.
Answer:
All the individuals of a species living within a specific area are collectively called a population.
Explanation:
When we go to periodic table, Sulfur is
an element that has 16 protons and 16 electrons.
when there is 18 electrons, with number of two electrons more than protons. This makes it an ion and
the ion has a -2 charge.
So when there is16 protons, 18 neutrons, and 18 electrons the symbol is S⁻².
The neutrons have no charge but they add only mass to the
elements. So when there is 16 neutrons, it doesn't change the symbol of ion.
