It actually depends on the acid you use because there are different types of acid and it also depends on the material you want to dissolve.

Why did the powdered milk molecules dissolve faster in water than oil?

Because water is a polar compound and a universal solvent and it can easily dissolve many things in it while oil is a non-polar compound and it cannot dissolve things in it much fastly.


Is acidic or basic a solution?

You seem to be confused. acidic and basic are not things, they are properties. For example, vinegar is a solution, and it is acidic, because in solution, it dissolves to release hydrogen ions. Basic solutions, such as bleach, either accept hydronium ions in solution, or release hydroxide ions in solution. But all solutions, with the exception of distilled water, is either definatively acidic or basic. Look up a pH meter or a pH scale. The lower the number, the more acidic a solution is. The higher the number is, the more basic a solution is, and if it is 7.0, then it is neutral.


What is the best acid base indicator?

One commonly used acid-base indicator is phenolphthalein, which is colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. Another popular indicator is litmus, which turns red in acidic solutions and blue in basic solutions. The choice of the best indicator depends on the specific experiment and the pH range being tested.


What dissolves things faster hydrochloric acid or water?

Hydrochloric acid dissolves things faster than water due to its corrosive properties and ability to react with certain materials at a faster rate. Water, on the other hand, is a neutral solvent and generally dissolves substances at a slower pace compared to hydrochloric acid.


Why does a mint dissolve faster in hot water than cold water?

Because hot water makes things melt and cold water makes things freeze.

How do you make solutions dissolve?

You can make a solute dissolve faster by mixing the solute, heating the solute, or crushing the solute.


Does hot water makes things dissolve more slowly?

most things dissolve faster in hot water.


What does the pH have to be to dissolve something?

Well it could be any pH because water which has a pH of 7(neutral) can dissolve things for example sugar. But if it is more acidic (a lower pH) it will probably dissolve things quicker.

Why do heated solvents dissolve solute faster?

One solvent is not faster than another, because different solutes require different solvents. If you are using the right solvent, the solute will usually dissolve rapidly. You can also make things dissolve faster by heating the solvent, and by stirring the solution.

lt water because slat melts things faster even tho some water has salt in it


What are the three things you can do to get a substance to dissolve quicker?

Heating causes an increase in speed of dissolving as does stirring faster. In addition, crushing to a fine powder (smaller particle size) increases the surface area to volume ration and helps the substance to dissolve faster.
