Surface area effect on rate score

A solid reactant in a Auckland water-analysis lab is crushed so the exposed surface-area score is \(5\). If rate score is \(3\times\) surface-area score, calculate the rate score. Use the diagram labels before choosing the numerical relationship. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the chemistry.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
