How does surface area affect reaction speed? The aim of this experiment was to investigate how the surface area affects the rate of a reaction in between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid. My hypothesis was that if the surface area to volume ratio of calcium carbonate was increased‚ then the rate of the reaction will increase because there are more particles that are accessible by the hydrochloric acid‚ thus more particles that can react with each other.

solution ‚ and in this can be taken from the theory of osmosis which states that “the passive diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane down a concentration gradient” (Taylor and Bruenn‚ 2009)‚ moving water from a high to a low concentration‚ so in this case water would move from the potato tuber to the sucrose solution reducing the weight of potatoes. Pospíšilová (1970) also states that the water absorption rate of tissue will decrease if

Surface Area to Volume Ratio and the Relation to the Rate of Diffusion Aim and Background This is an experiment to examine how the Surface Area / Volume Ratio affects the rate of diffusion and how this relates to the size and shape of living organisms. The surface area to volume ratio in living organisms is very important. Nutrients and oxygen need to diffuse through the cell membrane and into the cells. Most cells are no longer than 1mm in diameter because small cells enable nutrients and oxygen

000234333 EFT4: Math: Task 5: Surface Area of Cubes Introducing Surface Area For a fifth or sixth grade class to understand the concept surface area in relation to a cube they need to understand what a cube is first. They will learn that a cube is a special type of rectangular solid. The length‚ width‚ and height of a cube are exactly the same. After explaining what a cube is they will need to understand what it means to find the surface area. The surface area is not the same as finding the volume

An investigation how sugar solutions of different concentrations affect osmosis. Research Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute solution to one of a higher concentration. If a solution has a low concentration then the amount of (in the case of my investigation) sugar‚ the solute‚ will be low and the solution will be weak. If there is high amount of sugar then the solution will be concentrated (have a high concentration). When two solutions

equilibrium”‚ whatever the temperature may be. The larger the surface area‚ means there can be more “paths” from the sides of the body that are capable of releasing this heat particles‚ and reaching thermal equilibrium faster. This is what happens when a hotter body is subjected to a colder one. Research Question: How does the surface area to volume ratio affect heat loss in organisms? Hypothesis: I hypothesize that the larger the surface area to volume ratio‚ the more heat will be lost and vice

Does Soap Affect the Surface Tension of Water? Background: Surface tension refers to water’s ability to "stick to itself". Surface tensioncan be measured and observed by dropping water (drop by drop) onto a penny. Thenumber of water drops that can fit on a penny will surprise you. Question: How does soap affect the water’s surface tension? Hypothesis: I think that the surface tension of soapy water will be less than that of freshwater because H 2 0 has strong polar bonds‚ and when water is mixed
