Question

determine the order of cocoa preparatio
which would allow you to add more powdered mix to the water?
○ dissolve the powdered mix first because it increases solubility of the powdered mix.
○ dissolve the powdered mix first because it is easier to stir when the water is cold.
○ heat up the water first because it increases solubility of the powdered mix.
○ heat up the water first because it is easier to stir when the water is hot.
done

Explanation:

For most solid solutes like cocoa powder, increasing the temperature of a solvent (water) increases its solubility, meaning more solute can dissolve in the solvent. Stirring ease does not directly affect the maximum amount of powder that can be added, only the rate of dissolution. Dissolving first in cold water does not increase solubility.

Answer:

Heat up the water first because it increases solubility of the powdered mix.
