Why does the rate of the forward reaction increase when the surface area of a reactant is increased ?
When the surface area increases, the concentration of the substance increases, which reduces
the number of effective collisions.
When the surface area increases, the temperature of the system increases, which in turn
increases the number of effective collisions.
When the surface area increases, the density of the substance increases, which increases the
number of collisions.
When the surface area increases, the number of particle collisions increases, which in turn
increases the number of effective collisions.

Listenbase your answer to the question on the information below. nuclear radiation is harmful to living cells, particularly to fast-growing cells, such as cancer cells and blood cells. an external beam of the radiation emitted from a radioisotope can be directed on a small area of a person to destroy cancer cells within the body. cobalt-60 is an artificially produced radioisotope that emits gamma rays and beta particles. one hospital keeps a 100.0-gram sample of cobalt-60 in an appropriate, secure storage container for future cancer treatment. which choice represents the correct product for the beta decay of the co-60? fe-60ni-60fe-61ni-61
