To determine which situation would react faster based on surface area, we need to consider that reactions typically occur at the surface of solid particles. A higher surface area allows more area for collisions between reactant molecules, facilitating a faster reaction.
- If Example A has a high surface area, it would react faster compared to a similar example with a low surface area.
- Conversely, if Example B has a high surface area, it would also react faster than if it had a low surface area.
Based on these principles, if one example (A or B) has a higher surface area compared to the other, then the option suggesting that example with a high surface area would react faster is correct.
Without the specific details on Example A and Example B, I cannot definitively choose one of the options. However, if we are to infer from the options given, the selection would be:
- b: Example A would be faster because of a high surface area.
- d: Example B would be faster because of a high surface area.
But typically, the answer would be d if Example B has the higher surface area, and b if Example A has the higher surface area. You would need to provide the specific details about A and B to make a definite conclusion.
