What makes salt dissolve faster in water?

Answer 1

i have trying to find this out for a long time by searching on a lot of search engines i ofund out that you can:

heat up the water

stirr the water

pulverise the salt

shaking the water and salt

Answer 2

No. The rate at which salt dissolves is increased by heat and mechanical agitation (such as stirring). Decreases in the amount of water will either slow the rate of dissolution, or may have negligible effect, but will never increase the rate when other factors are constant.

Answer 3

There are a number of factors here. First of all the reason it dissolves faster is because of the fact that salt is an Ionic solid. That is cation(metals) and anions(non-metals) come together to form a solid with a uniform lattice structure. When salt encounters water it breaks up into its respective ions Na and Cl. Contrast this process with that of sugar which does not break up into ions because it is a molecular substance(made of all non metal elements, specifically carbon hydrogen and oxygen). When the sugar molecules encounters water they do not break up into smaller pieces like salt so water has to pull apart a solid by these extremely heavy molecules.

Answer 4

Salt dissolves faster in water when the water is stirred or heated. Stirring helps to increase the contact between salt particles and water molecules, while heating can speed up the kinetic energy of the particles, making them move faster and collide more frequently, thus enhancing the dissolving process.

Answer 5

To make salt dissolve quicker:

* Heat it * Stir it

Answer 6

Heating and stirring or shaking will speed up the process.
