Stirring increases the rate in which the area of the salt touches the area of the water increasing the rate at which it dissolves. However no matter how much you stir you cannot make a solvent (water) take anymore solvent (salt). In order to increase the solubility of your solution you need to add heat. Think about it like this: which takes more sugar? Hot tea or cold tea? The hot tea does, ever notice how when you add sugar to cold tea it falls to the bottom and it takes lots and lots of stirring and it never dissolves completely. If you were to warm the hot tea up it would completely dissolve. This works the same way for salt and water and ALMOST all solutions.

∙ 13y agoStirring affects the rate of dissolution of a salt but not solubility. In process of dissolution salt molecule leave the surface of salt crystal and occupy interstitial spaces in solvent volume. Without stirring the solvent in the vicinity of crystal will gradually have less interstitial space available for the salt molecules leading to local saturation which will reduce rate of migration of salt molecules to the solvent volume. In other words reduced rate of dissolution.

What would INCREASE the rate of dissolution but not affect the solubility of salt in water stirring or heating it?
Stirring and heating improve the rate of dissolution and not affect the measured solubility at a given temperature.But I mention that the solubilty of solids is increased when the temperature increase.
How do you make condition about which dissolves faster rock salt or iodized salt?
A salt with fine granulation is dissolved faster; also the solubility increase with the temperature. Stirring improve the speed of dissolution. Any difference between iodized or not iodized salt.
What are the factors that may affect the rate at which the salt dissolves in water?
The factors that may affect the rate at which salt dissolves in water are heat, the amount of water and the amount and type of salt you are using.
What factors affect the rate of dissolving salt in water?
yes because salt desoves because air but if you put water on it ,it will desolve almost instanly
Discusion for does salt affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt lower the freezing point of ice.

What methods would you use to dissolve a large crystal of salt known as rock salt in water Explain all the factors that affect the rate at which the salt will dissolve?
Broken the crystal in small parts; dissolution in water is easy.Factors which affect the rate of dissolution: temperature and stirring.
How can you melt your table salt faster?
You think to dissolution, not to melting. The solubility is increased by: - rise of the temperature (for the sodium chloride the effect is not so important) - stirring - using very fine powdered salt
How do you make condition about which dissolves faster rock salt or iodized salt?
A salt with fine granulation is dissolved faster; also the solubility increase with the temperature. Stirring improve the speed of dissolution. Any difference between iodized or not iodized salt.
What are the factors that may affect the rate at which the salt dissolves in water?
The factors that may affect the rate at which salt dissolves in water are heat, the amount of water and the amount and type of salt you are using.
Will salt affect the breathing rate of a goldfish?
yes, it will
What is true regarding the dissolution of a salt ionic solid in water?
Heat is absored or released during salt dissolution deping on the salt A+ LEaring;]
What factors affect the rate of dissolving salt in water?
yes because salt desoves because air but if you put water on it ,it will desolve almost instanly
Is there difference between the rate of dissolution of granulated table salt and refined table salt?
It depends- on temperature, stillness of the solute, and size of the salt grains. If everything is controlled, the smaller grains should dissolve quicker
What is the effect of a common ion on dissolution rate?
A common ion will reduce the solubility of an electrolyte with an identical ion. The common ion will hence also reduce the dissolution rate of the electrolyte. For example, the solubility of a HCl salt of a weak organic base may be reduced in a HCl solution.
Discusion for does salt affect the melting rate of ice?
Salt lower the freezing point of ice.
