Answer:

C. Grinding the solute down into tiny particles.

Explanation:

The dissolution of a solute has something to do with particle size. The size of solute particles usually determines how quickly a solute dissolves in a solvent. When large solute particles are introduced into the solvent, the large solute particles do not easily interact with solvent particles hence preventing easy dissolution in the solvent.

However, when the solute is ground into tiny particles, smaller solute particles interact more effectively with solvent particles hence dissolution is faster.

Therefore, tiny solute particles will dissolve faster in a solvent than a lump of solute. Summarily, small particle size enhances dissolution of a solute in the appropriate solvent.

There are two types of chemical compound one is covalent compound and another is ionic compound in chemistry. In ionic bonds, electrons are completely transferred. The correct option is option C.

<h3>What is chemical Compound?</h3>

Chemical Compound is a combination of molecule, Molecule forms by combination of element and element forms by combination of atoms in fixed proportion.

During formation of a compound calcium act as cation as Ca²⁺ so, if any element has to react with this cation in a 1:1 ratio, must have -2 charge over it . Option C represents S⁻², which react with Ca²⁺.

Therefore, the correct option is option C.
