Question

Generally, what is the effect of increased temperature on the rate of dissolution of a solid solute?

Answer 1

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When temperature is increased then there will be gain in kinetic energy of molecules. As a result, molecules will collide more rapidly with each other and solvent particles.

Hence, more is the number of collisions between the molecules more will be the rate of reaction.

Therefore, we can conclude that the effect of increased temperature on the rate of dissolution of a solid solute is that increased temperature increases the rate.

Answer 2

Solubility of a certain solute to a certain solvent is affected by temperature changes, in general, as the temperature of the solvent increases the faster the solute dissolves in the solvent. In the case of the statement above, the increased in the temperature would cause an increase in the rate of dissolution. Option 1
