Will speed up the dissolving of a soilid solute in water?

Answer 1

Hoping your question is "What will speed up the dissolving of a solid solute in water?"

• The surface area of the solute. Finely ground powder has a higher surface area than larger pieces of solute and will dissolve faster.
• The temperature of the water. Generally, as temperature increases so does the speed of solution.
• The type of solute. Some solutes have a higher solubility than others and will generally dissolve faster.
• How pure the water is. Generally, solutes dissolve faster in pure water, as the water takes in more solute it takes longer to dissolve further solute.
• The volume of solvent compared to the mass of solute. Larger volumes of water will dissolve a small mass of solute relatively quickly.

Answer 2

Increasing the temperature of the water will typically speed up the dissolving process of a solid solute as it increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules, allowing them to break apart the solute more effectively. Stirring or agitating the solution also helps by increasing the contact between the solute and solvent, enhancing the dissolving rate.
