Grinding a Tylenol tablet into powder increases the rate of reaction due to increased ____________________.

Question

a
concentration
b
reactants mass
c
surface area
d
temperature

Answer 1

Grinding a Tylenol tablet into powder increases the rate of reaction due to increased c surface area.

By increasing the surface area, more of the Tylenol is exposed to the solvent (for example, when dissolved in water), allowing for a more rapid interaction with it.
