← ScienceWhich outcome alters a chemical reaction's initial rate?
A)Increasing surface area of solid reactant✓
B)Decreasing reactor vessel volume
C)Minimizing system's total entropy
D)Allowing system maximum Gibbs free energy
💡 Explanation
Increasing surface area enhances reaction rate because more reactant is accessible to participate in binding events driving heterogeneous INTEGRATION reactions; therefore this immediately changes rate, rather than parameters such as volume impacting concentration.
