Will 22 tons of 2" cover the same
area at the same depth of 22 tons of 3/4 inch stone?


no. Ask the place where you're buying for a chart of their
volume/tonnage.

Also, BTW- 2" stone won't compact the same, won't shed leaves the
same, and won't provide the same drainage as 3/4" stone. [and round
stone vs crushed throws a couple more variables in.]

What you're using the stone for should help determine what type and
size you want.
