A
Surface area
Stirring/ Shaking
Temperature
2
Q
How does surface are affect the rate of dissolution?
A
If the surface area is larger the rate of dissolution will increase
3
Q
How does stirring/ shaking affect the rate of dissolution?
A
helps to disperse solute particles and increase contact between the solvent and solute surface. This speeds up the dissolving process.
4
Q
How does temperature affect the rate of dissolution?
A
when heat is applied, particles will collide more so the rate of dissolving will increase.
