Answer: the increased surface area aids in the better absorption of drugs.

Explanation: According to Noyes- Whitney equation, increased absorption of drugs depends on the rate of dissolution which is modified by altering the surface area. Reduction of the drug size from solid to powder form increases the specific surface area and the dissolution rate. This unique quantity makes it a fast acting medication since it's absorbed faster.

Answer:

Many fast- acting medications are sold as powders, sometimes inside soluble capsules. Why would these medications act faster than solid tablets

it is a known fact that surface area affects digestion, soluble capsule which has been broken down to powdery form will penetrate faster than the solid ones which will take a longer time to get broken into particles before penetration.

the higher the solubility the higher the digestion or penetration of this drugs, thus; the faster the rate of its work vice versa

What is Teddy's organization trying to accomplish?
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The sensitization and awareness campaign by Teddy's organization was aimed to prevent greenhouse effects by preserving the integrity of the ozone layer in deflecting the dangerous ultraviolet radiation from the sun.

Explanation:

Products such as aerosols, refrigerators, and other substances that can release Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) had been banned due to their bye product of CFCs which had been studied to be harmful to the ecosystem, especially the stratosphere.

The released CFCs are volatile and escape faster due to their low relative density. Therefore, they tend to get into the upper atmosphere within a couple of minutes. When CFCs and Ultraviolet radiation reacts, it leads to the formation of mono oxides of chlorine and bromine. These fragments (Cl2O and Br2O) are capable of reducing the protective ozone shield into ordinary oxygen, which cannot prevent the penetration of harmful ultraviolet radiation into the earth, which cause mutation of DNA and destruction of protein content of the animals and plants on the earth, and finally to cancer and other genetic mutation problems.

IRINA_888 [86]
I want to say that it would be the 'atomic radius' that would increase. Because as this would happen, the atoms would then get smaller and smaller, mainly because the radius would just get smaller and also the atoms would also.
