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.

zaharov [31]

Answer:

a. 0.5 mol

b. 1.5 mol

c. 0.67

Explanation:

Fe3+ + SCN- -----> [FeSCN]2+

a. The ratio of the product to Fe3+ is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of Fe3+ was used. Leaving 0.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

b. The ratio of the product to SCN= is 1:1. Meaning that if 0.5 mol of product was produced up then 0.5 mol of SCN- was used. Leaving 1.5 mol remaining at equilibrium

c. KC = 0.5/(0.5*1.5) = 0.67
