Which of these factors will cause a solid solute to dissolve faster?


increasing the air temperature


increasing the amount of solute


increasing the amount of solvent


increasing the surface area of solute

Verified Answer :

The correct answer among
the choices given is the last option. Increasing the surface area of the solute
will increase the dissolution of a solute in the solvent. The dissolution rate
is affected by a number of factors like temperature, pressure, particle size
and the polarity.

Answer: The factor that would most likely cause a solid solute to dissolve faster is increasing the surface area of the solute. The more exposed its particles are to the solvant, the easier it is to dissolve. Of course, many factors might interfere in dissolution, such as temperature, polarity and others, but having in mind the options given, the surface area would be the most effective.
