Grinding solid crystals increase the rate of dissolving for a solid solute in water because smaller crystals have more surface area. The solubility of a substance depends on the physical and chemical properties of the solute and solvent as well as the temperature, pressure and the pH of the solution. For example increase in temperature increases the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Directly proportional
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>Concentration is one of the factors that determine the rate of a reaction. Reaction rates increases with increase in the concentration of the reactants, which means they are directly proportional.</u></em>
- An increase in the concentration of reactants produces more collisions and thus increasing the rate at which the reaction is taking place. Therefore, <u>Increasing the concentration of a reactant increases the frequency of collisions between reactants and will cause an increase in the rate of reaction.</u>
