Why does reducing solute particle size increase the speed at which the solute dissolves in water?
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
The solubility of a solute is the largest amount of solute that can dissolve in a certain quantity of?
Solute
What is a solute particle that is surrounded by solvent molecules is said to be?
Solvated
Why does reducing solute size particle size increase the speed at which the solute dissolves in water?
For the amount of material in the particle the surface area of a small particle is greater than a larger particle. Said another way, the surface area per unit volume is greater for a smaller particle. Dissolving speed is related to the surface area. Therefore a smaller particle dissolves faster than a larger particle.
What is the effect of particle size on the rate of dissulution of a solute?
Smaller the particle, faster the dissolution. By the way, you spelled dissolution incorrectly.
Can a particle of a solid solute escape into the solvent only at the surface of the solute?
Yes

What does it mean for a solution to be super saturated?
Under some circumstances it is possible to dissolve more of a solute into a solution than the nominal solubility of that solute would allow. A saturated solution is one that contains all the solute that will normally dissolve, and a supersaturated solution contains even more of that solute. If the solution is disturbed in some way (the appearance of a nucleating particle, stirring, etc.) then the excess solute will precipitate from the solution, or in the case of a gas, will bubble out of the solution.

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.
