Finer particle size of silica______________?

Correct answer: B. Greater the hygroscopic expansion

  • A. Slower the hygroscopic expansion
  • B. Greater the hygroscopic expansion
  • C. Normal setting expansion
  • D. No setting expansion

Explanation

Finer silica particles provide greater surface area and promote more interaction with the setting material, increasing hygroscopic expansion. Thus, finer silica produces greater rather than slower expansion.
