A

Surface area

33
Q

Surface area is (measurement)

A

per unit volume (Sv) or per unit weight (Sw)

34
Q

A higher surface area provides more sites for chemical reactions and adsorption processes to occur.

A

Adsorption and reactions

35
Q

Absorption and reactions are especially important in

A

catalysis and adsorption technologies.

36
Q

Smaller particles often have larger surface areas per unit mass, but they can also be prone to———- due to increased surface interactions.

A

Particle agglomeration

37
Q

Surface area influences how particles adhere to surfaces or bind with other materials, affecting properties like

A

paint adhesion or pharmaceutical tablet binding.

38
Q

In pharmaceuticals, particles with larger surface areas are preferred for drug delivery systems as they can provide increased drug dissolution and absorption rates.

A

Absorption and Drug delivery

39
Q

the ratio of the volume of interstices of a material to the volume of its mass (%void)

72
Q

Surface tension effect

A

73
Q

Pressure applies in

A

Bulb of the dropper

74
Q

Impact of pressure in bulb dropper
