∙ 13y agoBecause the atoms in a powder are more exposed than atoms in a solid. That is, because most atoms in a 'lump' are concealed in the middle of it, they cannot react as they are not in contact with whatever it is you are mixing.

∙ 15y agobecause you have increased the surface area

∙ 13y agobecause of the molecules Powdered sugar has particlews which are more far apart than the crystals of sugar as the particles in there are very tightly packed togather

∙ 13y agoBecause the powder exposes a greater surface area for the transfer of the material into the liquid phase than a solid

When does a solid dissolve faster?
when the total surface of the solid is large
Why does increasing the temperature make a solid dissolve faster?
The solvent molecules bump into the solid more often.
What does heating increase the speed at which a solute dissolves in water?
It will affect it because the chemicals in what you are trying to dissolve, will increase if you put it in hot water. The chemicals dissolve much faster the higher the temperature.
How does temperature affect the solubility of a solid in a water?
The warmer a liquid is, right up to its boiling point, the better solids dissolve. Put another way, you can generally dissolve more of a solid in a warm/hot liquid than in a cool/cold liquid. Conversely, gasses dissolve in liquids better at cooler temperatures. That's why a warm Coke spews (out-gasses) worse than a cold one...so keep your cola cold, and sweeten your tea while it's still hot!
Is gold powder still a solid?
The gold powder is also a solid.
Are the cold and hot water can dissolve faster?
Solid chemicals are dissolved faster in hot water.
Is food coloring a solid liquid or gas?
solid. The chemicals used to color food are solids, usually a powder. The liquid you buy in the store is a solution of the powder. Just like salt is a solid powder but you can dissolve it in water. never heard of a gaseous food coloring.
When does a solid dissolve faster?
when the total surface of the solid is large
Example of a filtering a solid from a gas?
a powder is a solid and chemicals are usually liquid although there are chemicals which are powder in a way. here's two chemicals for the answer to your question: 1)copper powder 2)sulphuric acid
What does increasing the surface area of a solid do to the solution?
When the surface area is higher, it helps to dissolve it in the solution faster.
How can you dissolve a solid faster?
You could crush the solid, stir the solution, and/or heat the solution.
What could you do to make a solid dissolve faster in a liquid?
heat or stir
What does not make a solid dissolve faster in a liquid?
usually heat the liquid
What are 3 ways to dissolve a solid faster?
Add hydrochloric acid
Does adding more liquid to a liquid make a solid dissolve faster?
No
What do you need to dissolve a solid?
the answer to this one is, you cant dissolve a solid..like wood well you could with some chemicals that would eat away at the solid but if you mean putting it in some water and heat it up then no you can not.
Why does increasing the temperature make a solid dissolve faster?
The solvent molecules bump into the solid more often.
