Question

a bath bomb is a solid sphere made of a weak base and a weak acid. when you add it to a bathtub, it mixes with the water to create a soapy solution. if you want it to completely and quickly dissolve a large bath bomb, what might you do? (1 point) increase the water temperature, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly decrease the water temperature, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly. decrease the water volume, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly. increase the water acidity to a ph of 2, which increases neutralization of the bath bomb - and then take a shower, instead

Explanation:

In general, for most substances including the components of a bath - bomb, increasing the water temperature increases solubility. Higher temperature provides more kinetic energy to the molecules, causing them to move faster and interact more effectively with the bath - bomb, thus dissolving it more quickly. Decreasing water temperature usually decreases solubility. Decreasing water volume does not increase solubility. Increasing water acidity to a pH of 2 is an extreme and unnecessary measure and may be harmful to the skin.

Answer:

Increase the water temperature, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly
