What increases a solvents ability to dissolve a solute?
1. Quantity 2. Temperature 3. Dissolution method First, the quantity of the solvent will affect solubility. Second, the temperature of the solvent will affect solubility. Third, the method of dissolution such as by shaking, stirring, sonics, or just letting it sit will affect solubility.
How does stirring and heating affect the solution?
Both stirring and heating increase the rate of dissolving
How does hot distilled water affect solubility product constant?
The solubility product increases with temperature for endothermic dissolving processes.
Does the temperature of water affect how fast salt crystals or sugar crystals melt?
Yes. (BTW, the crystals are dissolving, not melting...melting occurs at a very high temperature).
How does dissolving salt in water affect the mass of salt and water?
The mass of the salt and water are uneffected. If you started with 5g of both water and salt, you'll end with 5g of both.
Does stirring affect the rate of dissolving?
Yes, in fact stirring does increase the rate of dissolving [or dissolution] of solids.
Does shape of solids affect the rate of dissolving?
Yes; the dissolution rate is increased when a substance is as small particles.
How the size of particles affect the way the particles dissolve?
The smaller the particle the faster it dissolves. This is because the process by which a solute dissolves takes place at the surface of the solvent. That means the larger the surface area of a particle or solute, the faster the solute will dissolve.
How does the kinetic particle theory affect the stirring in dissolving?
Stirring amps up the speed and frequency at which particls collide.. or, in other words, the kinetic energy is increased by stirring, which ultimately speeds up the dissolving process
How does temperature affect the rate dissolving?
The higher the temperature, the greater the rate of dissolving.
What is Dissolving the particles size?
How do the following factors affect the rate of dissolving for temperature change
How does leaching affect chemical weathering?
by dissolving in it
How does crushing the candy to smaller pieces affect its dissolution?
it doesnt
How does surface area affect dissolving?
Directly proportional
Does a life saver in pieces affect the dissolving rate of it?
no
How does increasing temperature affect rate of dissolution?
Increasing temperature increases the rate of dissolution, though it can increase or decrease solubility at equilibrium.
how can temprature affect the dissolving time of a solid?
If the temperature of the area the dissolving solid is in is warm, the air can make the dissolving solid warm too, and eventually completely dissolve the object.
