By breaking up the solute, the surface area between the solute and solvent is increased, meaning the solute can more easily dissolve into it's components.

Why do smaller particles dissolve faster than larger ones?

With smaller particles there is more surface area for the solvent to reach. Less surface area means less places where the solvent can dissolve. Think about grain salt v. a salt block. If you pour the same amount of water on both, the water will reach and dissolve a majority of the grain salt immediately. However, the water will only touch the outside of the block salt. The middle would remain untouched.


As temperature increases the amount of solute that a solvent can dissolve increases?

The solubility of a solvent increases as its temperature increases. Supersaturation is achieved by increasing the solubility of a solvent through temperature increase, saturating it with a solute, then lowering its temperature again, resulting in a solution that has more solute than it normally would at that temperature.


The amount of solute required to form a saturated solution in a particular amount of solvent is the?

The Concentration


When solid is dissolved in a liquid?

When a solid is dissolved in a liquid, the liquid is said to be the solvent and the solid is to be the solute. The liquid that you get after dissolving the solid into the liquid is called the solution. When a solute dissolves, the solvent particles attract the particles of the solute away which breaks the cluster of particles apart. After dissolving enough amount that the solvent cannot dissolve more, the solution is said to be saturated. It is the state when the solution cannot dissolve anymore solute. The opposite of solution is suspension. A suspension is when the solute cannot be dissolved (that is, it is insoluble) into the solvent and stays suspended in the solvent. A suspension is translucent and the suspended particles can be easily seen. While, in a solution, the particles are soluble and complete dissolve into the solvent. A solution is transparent and the particles are too small to be seen through naked eyes.


How do you make a solution more concentrated?

By adding more solute to a fixed amount of solvent.

What three ways can dissolving be speeded up?

Increasing temperature, pressure or amount of solvent.


What are the factors on which rate of dissolving a solute in a solvent depends?

Temperature, pressure, the amount of the solute surface area exposed to the solvent and the saturation point of the solvent are some of the factors.


How can you increase the rate of dissolution?

One way is to grind up solid, or increase the temperature. Also, you can stir the solution, and then, there are enzymes.


What are the 7 S words in science to do with dissolving?

Solute which is the solid being dissolved Solvent which is the liquid the solid is dissolving into Solution which is the solute and the solvent mixed together Soluble which means that something will dissolve Insoluble which means that something will not dissolve Solubility which is how much something will dissolve and Saturated which is when a solution has dissolved that maximum amount of solute


What do you call to the amount of salt and other dissolve substance?

Dissolved substances (lesser quantity) are called the solute. Substances that do the dissolving (greater quantity) are the solvent.


How does breaking up solid speeddissolving in liquid?

Breaking up the solid into smaller pieces increases the amount of surface area exposed to the solvent. Because the solvent is acting over a larger surface area, the rate of dissolving increases.


How do you Increase solubility of liquid in liquid?

Increase temperature. any of the following:- 1) increase the temperature of the Solvent (what you are trying to dissolve in) 2) increase the surface area of the Solute (what you are dissolving) 3) increase the agitation (stirring) and the amount of the solvent.
