How does surface area affects rate of reaction?
That makes sense. Are there any exceptions where increasing surface area doesn't increase the rate of reaction?
Yes, there are some cases where increasing surface area may not have a significant effect on the rate of reaction. For example, if the reactants are already present in a solution, increasing the surface area of one of the reactants may not have a significant impact on the rate of reaction since collisions are already happening efficiently in the solution.
