Video transcript

Hi everyone for this problem we want to answer is the following statement true or false. Increasing the surface area of reactant particles, increases the frequency of collisions. So if we have several smaller particles, they're going to have more surface area than just one large particle, the more surface area that is available for particles to collide the faster the reaction will occur. So in terms of the statement, given increasing the surface area of reactant particles increases the frequency of collisions, this statement is going to be true. Okay, so that is the answer to this problem, and I hope this was helpful.
