Question

which characteristic increases the rate of a solute dissolving in a solvent?○ large particle sizes○ less solvent○ more solute○ stirring solutions

Explanation:

• Large particle sizes reduce surface area, slowing dissolution.
• Less solvent limits space for solute, does not speed rate.
• More solute increases total dissolved amount but not the rate.
• Stirring brings fresh solvent to solute, speeding dissolution.

Answer:

D. stirring solutions
