Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.

Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.

Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)

Which factor causes a decrease in the rate of dissolution?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

The correct option of the first option

Explanation:

Dissolution of a solute in a solution is the process in which the solute interacts with the solvent leading to the disappearance of the solute to form a solution. Rate of dissolution is primarily affected by three factors namely

<u>Stirring of the solution</u>: Stirring the solution causes the solute to interact more with the solvent, <u>thus increasing the rate of dissolution</u>.

<u>Surface area of the solute</u>: The smaller the surface area of the solute, the more easier it is for it (the solute) to interact with the solvent. Hence, <u>the smaller the surface area, the faster the rate of dissolution</u>.

<u>Temperature of the solvent</u>: An increase in temperature of the solvent <u>causes the generally causes more things to dissolve in this solvent</u> due to increased energy of molecules in the solvent, which causes the molecules of the solute and solvent to interact more.

A decrease in the amount of solute<u> will reduce the amount of interaction the solute (since it is in lesser quantity) have with the solvent hence the rate of dissolution will also be low (even though a solution will still be formed)</u>.
