surface area to volume ratio (INCLUDES DIFFUSION)

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

surface area / volume

what is the surface area equation? (cube)

area of each face x 6

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.

in what states can particles diffuse?

only in liquid and gas

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.
