How does surface area of the zinc affect its speed of reaction with sulfuric acid?

The surface is where the reaction takes place. The more surface is exposed, the faster the reaction will proceed. Compared to a chunk of zinc, the same mass of zinc powder can react nearly instantaneously.

Why Sulfuric acid added to the esterification reaction?
works as a catalyst to speed up reaction
What is meant by the rate of reaction?
The how much speed it takes for two substances to make one product. Many factors can affect this including the temperature, the surface area, the concentration, the catalyst and the pressure (only applies for gases)
What speeds up in chemical reaction?
There are numerous ways to affect the speed of a chemical reaction. They are add a catalyst, increase the concentration of reactants, increase surface area of reactants, increase pressure, and increase the energy in the environment around the reaction.
What is the function of concentrated sulfuric acid in reactions?
H2SO4 acts as a catalyst to speed up the reaction between the various alcohols and carboxylic acids in order to form esters and water as product
How do particle sizes affect the speed at which mass is lost from the reaction mixture of marble chips and dilute hydrochloric acid as the gas carbon dioxide is released?
if the particles are really small, ie, a powder form, the reaction will be a lot quicker because there is a larger surface area. if the marble is in larger chips, the surface area of the marble is smaller therefore the reaction is slower.

How does surface area of an object affect gravity?
increasing the surface area of reactants in a solid form the speed of reaction is increased the contact between the solid reactants or liquids and gas.
Will a smaller surface speed up a chemical reaction?
No. A smaller surface area will slow down a chemical reaction.
What Enzymes affect the reaction in living cells by changing the?
By changing the speed of the reaction.
Does the size of the reactants affaect the speed of a chemical reaction?
Yes. The more surface area that is exposed, the greater the speed of the reaction.
What is meant by the rate of reaction?
The how much speed it takes for two substances to make one product. Many factors can affect this including the temperature, the surface area, the concentration, the catalyst and the pressure (only applies for gases)
What are 3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalyzed reaction?
3 factors that affect the speed of an enzyme catalysed reaction are: .Temperature .Enzyme Concentartion .Substrate concentration
What speeds up in chemical reaction?
There are numerous ways to affect the speed of a chemical reaction. They are add a catalyst, increase the concentration of reactants, increase surface area of reactants, increase pressure, and increase the energy in the environment around the reaction.
Why does catalyst affect reaction speed?
The activation energy is reduced.
Do catalysts affect temperature?
A catalyst affects the speed of a chemical reaction. If the chemical reaction gives off heat, the reaction may affect the temperature, but the catalyst by itself doesn't affect the temperature.
How do enzymes affect the reaction in living things?
Enzymes act as catalysts. They speed up the reaction time.
What are enzymes called because they affect the speed of chemical reaction without being consumed?
enzymes are never consumed in a chemical reaction, therefore the answer to your question is that enzymes that affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed are indeed called enzymes.
