A piece of paper burns faster than pieces of shredded paper. True or False? Chemistry question..?

False.


The smaller the particle size the faster a reaction will be.A piece of paper burns faster than pieces of shredded paper. True or False? Chemistry question..?
False, because a piece of paper has a smaller surface area than the same paper in shredded form, and the smaller the surface area of a substance, the slower it reacts. (in this case the reaction is combustion/burning.)
