In an exothermic reaction, heat is produced along with products. But in endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed. If the number of products is less than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction will be exothermic. If the number of products is more than the sum of the enthalpies of the reactants, the reaction is endothermic.
Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.
