A solute will dissolve faster into a solvent when:
a. The surface area is ( increased /
or decreased
1. Describe a process that increases surface area:
b. The temperature is ( increased or decreased) because particles move ( faster or slower ) and so collisions occur ( more often or less often ).
a. The surface area is increased.
1. One process that increases surface area is by grinding or crushing the solute into smaller particles.
b. The temperature is increased because particles move faster and so collisions occur more often.
