It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
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.
Reducing particle size results in an increase in surface area. The increase in surface area allows more solvent (water) molecules to interact with the substance, and this increases the rate at which that substance dissolves.

It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
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.
The particles of that solute go into the empty spaces around the water particles.
Yes, the attractions between solute particles break as the solid solute dissolves in a liquid solvent. The solvent molecules surround the solute particles, breaking the intermolecular forces holding the solute together, allowing the solute to disperse evenly throughout the solvent.
1) increase the solvent's temperature 2) add more solvent 3) stir (have the solvent and solute meet together more instead of letting the solute rest at the bottom of the solvent)
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
Increasing the pressure over a solid solute has virtually no effect on the rate that it dissolves. Stirring and increasing the temperature are the best methods for increasing the rate at which a solid solute dissolves.
