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.

zhenek [66]

To find pH, use the following formula ---> pH= - log [H+]

so first we need to calculate the [H+] concentration using the OH concentration. to do this, we need to use this formula--> 1.0x10-14= [H+] X [OH-], so we solve for H+ and plug in

[H+]= 1.0X10-14/[OH-]---> 1.0 x 10-14/ 1.0 x 10-4= 1.0 x 10-10

now that we have the H+ concentration, we can solve of pH

pH= -log (1.0x10-10)= 10

answer is A
