Question

You can increase the rate solute dissolves in solvent by______

Answer 1

Crushing particles of solute. The more surface area of the solute exposed to the solvent the faster the solute will dissolve and react with the solvent

Answer 2

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

More is the number of solute particles present more will be the interaction take place between both the molecules of solute and solvent.  

As a result, more will be the rate of reaction which means that when solute is added into the solvent after crushing it then it will readily dissolve into the solvent.

When we lower the temperature then there will occur decrease in kinetic energy of the particles. So, less number of collisions will take place between solute and solvent particles.

Hence, less will be the rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that you can increase the rate solute dissolves in solvent by crushing particles of solute.
