Will increase the rate of dissolution and hence how fast the solute is dissolved.
increasing the temperature of the solvent, agitating the mixture, or increasing the surface area of the solute particles.
ALL reactions (apart from Nuclear) take place on the surface. By crushing the solid you are increasing the surface area and also the SA/Volume ratio. This increased surface area increases the area available for the dissolution reaction.
Breaking up the solid into smaller pieces increases the amount of surface area exposed to the solvent. Because the solvent is acting over a larger surface area, the rate of dissolving increases.

surface area. This is due to the volume increasing cubically as the length increases, while the surface area only increases squared. This can lead to issues with nutrient and waste exchange in larger cells.
Increasing the surface area of a solute can increase the speed of dissolving because it allows for more contact between the solute and solvent, leading to faster dissolution. This is because more solute particles are exposed to the solvent at the same time, increasing the rate at which the solute can be surrounded and dispersed by the solvent molecules.

By breaking up the solute, the surface area between the solute and solvent is increased, meaning the solute can more easily dissolve into it's components.
1. Quantity 2. Temperature 3. Dissolution method First, the quantity of the solvent will affect solubility. Second, the temperature of the solvent will affect solubility. Third, the method of dissolution such as by shaking, stirring, sonics, or just letting it sit will affect solubility.
Increase the surface area of the solvent by crushing or grinding it, increase the temperature of the solvent, and/or stir the mixture.
Breaking up the solid into smaller pieces increases the amount of surface area exposed to the solvent. Because the solvent is acting over a larger surface area, the rate of dissolving increases.

A greater surface area means a greater portion of the solid(solute) is in contact with the solvent at a given time. This increases the area in which interaction between the 2 substances can take place, and thus the rate at which the solute dissolves.
Grinding increases the surface area of the solute particles, which allows for more contact with the solvent. This increased surface area facilitates faster dissolution since more solute particles can come into contact with the solvent, leading to a quicker saturation and dissolution process.
Stirring or agitating the solution to increase contact between the solid and solvent, increasing the temperature of the solvent which generally increases the solubility of solids, and reducing the particle size of the solid to increase surface area available for dissolution.
Not necessarily just changing the surface area causes the rate to change. Changing the ratio of surface area volume changes the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent. If the surface area is larger and the volume of a solute is smaller or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent increases. If the surface area is smaller and the volume of the solute is larger or the same, then the rate at which the solute dissolves in a solvent decreases.
