what is the formula to find surface area to volume ratio?

surface area / volume

2
New cards

what is the surface area equation? (cube)

area of each face x 6

3

what is the definition of diffusion?

diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until an even concentration is achieved.

4
New cards

in what states can particles diffuse?

only in liquid and gas

New cards

how does SA:VOLUME affect diffusion?

A higher surface area-to-volume ratio speeds up diffusion because there's more outer space for particles to pass through compared to the "inside" size. Smaller objects have higher ratios, making diffusion faster.
