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.
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.
Solubility of a solution can be decreased by adding a solute that is insoluble or less soluble in the solvent, reducing temperature, or increasing pressure for gases. These can shift the equilibrium towards the formation of solid precipitates, reducing the amount of solute that can remain dissolved in the solution.
The substance dissolved in a liquid is called the solute.

The solute particle is said to be dissolved in the solvent.

Solute particles are the particles of solid material that are being placed into a solvent. A solute dissolved in a solvent makes a solution.
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.
Increasing the temperature more solute is dissolved.
Solubility of a solution can be decreased by adding a solute that is insoluble or less soluble in the solvent, reducing temperature, or increasing pressure for gases. These can shift the equilibrium towards the formation of solid precipitates, reducing the amount of solute that can remain dissolved in the solution.
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)
