Which of these factors will cause a solid solute to dissolve faster? -increasing the air temperature -increasing the amount of solute -increasing the amount of solvent -increasing the surface area of solute

-Increasing the surface area of solute

Explanation:

Surface area of solute particles affects how the solute dissolve in the solvent.When the surface area is increased, this means the composition of solutes will be made of very many small solutes with small areas thus dissolving will be more quicker.When larger solutes are used, they will take more time to dissolve in the solvent due to their larger areas.

increasing the surface area of solute

Explanation:

When a solid is added to a solvent, the rate at which it dissolves partially depends on the nature of the nature of the solid solute.

If the solute is in form of a lump, it will take a very long time to dissolve (if it does dissolve at all) because the particles of the solute are unavailable for interaction with the solvent.

If the surface area is increased maybe by using a finely divided solid, more particles are now available for interaction with the solvent. Hence the solute dissolves faster.
