A bath bomb is a solid sphere made of a weak base and a weak acid. When it 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?

Lush bath bomb: See how it's made from start to finish

a
Decrease the water volume, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly.
b
Increase the water acidity to a pH of 2, which increases neutralization of the bath bomb - and then take a shower, instead
c
Decrease the water temperature, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly.
d
Increase the water temperature, which increases the solubility of the bath bomb - dissolving it more quickly.

d

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

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

By increasing the water temperature, you are providing more energy to the particles in the bath bomb and the water. This increased energy speeds up the movement of the particles, causing them to collide more frequently and with greater force. This increased collision rate and force helps break down the bonds holding the bath bomb together, allowing it to dissolve more quickly in the water.

To completely and quickly dissolve a large bath bomb, you would want to increase the water temperature. Increasing the water temperature increases the solubility of the bath bomb, allowing it to dissolve more quickly. Therefore, the correct answer is option d - increase the water temperature.
