The concentration of the solution.
Whichever one there's the least of.
As more solute dissolves in a solvent, the solubility of the solute in the solvent increases. This leads to an increase in the concentration of the solution. The solution becomes more concentrated as more solute particles are dispersed in the solvent.
concentration
More surface area is exposed.
A solute generally dissolves more rapidly the warmer the solvent. Also, any mixing or moving of the solute, and also if the solute is broken up (increases surface area) both speed up dissolving.
To create a more concentrated solution, you can add more solute (substance being dissolved) to the solvent (liquid medium). This increases the amount of solute particles in the solution, making it more concentrated. Alternatively, you can decrease the amount of solvent in the solution, which also increases the concentration of the solute.
Increasing the surface area between solute and solvent increases the rate of dissolution, as it provides more contact for the solute molecules to interact with the solvent molecules. This can lead to a faster dissolution process and a more efficient mixing of the solute in the solvent.
Agitation increases the rate of dissolving by enhancing the mixing of solvent and solute particles, resulting in more frequent collisions and increased surface area contact. This helps break down the solute particles more quickly and allows them to dissolve faster.
Yes, stirring the solute can increase solubility by helping to disperse the solute particles more evenly throughout the solvent. This increases the surface area of contact between the solute and solvent, allowing for more solute particles to dissolve.
The solubility of potassium nitrate increases with temperature. This is because higher temperatures provide more energy to break the bonds between the solute (potassium nitrate) and solvent molecules, allowing more solute to dissolve.
As the particle size gets smaller, the surface area increases, and as the surface area increases, the ease with which water can hydrate the particles increases. When it is easier for water to hydrate the molecules, this increases the speed at which the solute dissolves.
As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of molecules also increases. This increased energy allows more solute to dissolve in the solvent, causing the saturation point to rise. Essentially, the solubility of the solute increases with temperature, leading to a higher saturation point.
