PredicateObject
rdf:type qudt:QuantityKind
dcterms:description <strong>Specific surface area</strong> (<strong>SSA</strong>) is a property of solids defined as the total surface area (SA) of a material per unit mass, (with units of m<sup>2</sup>/kg or m<sup>2</sup>/g). It is a physical value that can be used to determine the type and properties of a material (e.g. soil or snow). It has a particular importance for adsorption, heterogeneous catalysis, and reactions on surfaces.
