Question

four students in a class explained how the size of the solute or temperature of the solvent affects the| student | explanation || ---- | ---- || jacob | the rate of dissolving increases with an increase in the size of the solute. || sophia | the rate of dissolving decreases with an increase in the size of the solute. || christian | the rate of dissolving increases with an increase in the temperature of the solvent. || alexandria | the rate of dissolving decreases with an increase in the temperature of the solvent. |which students explanations are correct?○ jacob and christian○ sophia and christian○ jacob and alexandria○ sophia and alexandria

Explanation:

• A larger solute has less surface area exposed to the solvent, slowing dissolution, so Sophia is correct.
• Higher solvent temperature increases solvent molecule kinetic energy, speeding up solute-solvent interactions, so Christian is correct.

Answer:

Sophia and Christian
