The bigger the solid the less surface area there is to be reacted with. If you broke the same solid into many different pieces it would dissolve quicker because there is more surface for the reaction to take place.

When a soluble solid is added to a solvent is a solution made?

If the solid is soluble in that particular solvent, yes you will get a solution.


What will affect both the rate of dissolving and the solubility of a solid in a liquid?

Temperature and particle size of the solid will affect both the rate of dissolving and the solubility in a liquid. Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of dissolving and solubility, while smaller particles increase the rate of dissolving due to increased surface area available for interaction with the solvent.


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.


How can we test how soluble a solid is?

The solubility is determined experimentally dissolving the solute in a solvent at a given temperature and pressure.


Why does size affect a soluble solid from dissolving quicker?

A smaller size exposes more surface area of the solid to the solvent, allowing for faster dissolution. This is because the solvent can more easily interact with and break down the solid particles when they are smaller.


What is it called when a solid dissolves?

In a solution, there is what scientists call a solvent (the dissolving material) which is usually a luquid, and a solute (the material being dissolved) which is usually a solid. The answer you are looking for is "solute".


How does a particular size affect a soluble solid?

The smaller the particles, the more quickly and easily they dissolve. A powdered solute will dissolve faster than a large piece of the same solute.


What is a soluble substance?

It is a substance that may cease to be a solid by dissolving into it's solvent. Polar substances dissolve in water; most organic substances may be dissolved in water; while inorganic substances may only be dissolved in inorganic solvents.


What are the 7 S words in science to do with dissolving?

Solute which is the solid being dissolved Solvent which is the liquid the solid is dissolving into Solution which is the solute and the solvent mixed together Soluble which means that something will dissolve Insoluble which means that something will not dissolve Solubility which is how much something will dissolve and Saturated which is when a solution has dissolved that maximum amount of solute


How does temperature affect the solubilty of a solid in a solvent?

Usually, higher temperature = more soluble in the solvent.


What are different solids that affect the freezing and boiling point of water?

Any solid that is soluble in water.


A substance capable of dissolving freely in water is?

A substance that is capable of dissolving freely in water is considered to be soluble in water. Substances like salt, sugar, and certain acids are examples of compounds that are soluble in water because they can easily form a homogeneous mixture with water.
