Question

What is the purpose of stirring a solution while it is being heated? Select one: To slow down any reactions that occur in the solution To encourage sudden boiling in the solution To prevent the solute from dissolving into solution To help evenly distribute heat throughout the solution

Answer 1

To help evenly distribute heat throughout the solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The purpose of stirring a solution while being heated would be to evenly distribute heat throughout the solution.

When a vessel containing a solution is heated, the molecules at the lower portion of the vessel get heated first before heat graduate radiates around the entire solution. Stirring the solution will ensure that the process of heat distribution around the entire solution is quickened.

Stirring a solution while heating does not slow down the reactions that might occur in the solution, does not encourage sudden boiling of the solution, and neither does it prevent solute from dissolving into the solution.
