Definition

quality of a solid material entity that is its total surface area per unit mass

Examples

• powdered cell culture medium with high specific surface area; porous chromatography resin particles with high specific surface area; mesoporous silica with high specific surface area to support palladium to be used as catalyst in the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide; activated carbon with high available surface for adsorption;

Primitive Class

This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.

Primitive Rationale

There are insufficient constructs for creating a set of necessary and sufficient conditions

Formal Axioms

First-Order Logic Axioms

SpecificSurfaceArea(x) → Quality(x) ∧ ∃m∃s (MaterialEntity(m) ∧ qualityOf(x, m) ∧ SolidAggregateState(s) ∧ hasQuality(m, s))

Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms

if x is a ‘specific surface area’ then x is a ‘quality’ that is the ‘quality of’ some ‘material entity’ that ‘has quality’ some ‘solid aggregate state’
