One of the fastest ways to dissolve a solid in a liquid requires adding energy and exposing as much surface area of the solid as possible. Which of the following would be the quickest way to dissolve the largest possible amount of gelatin powder in a quart of water?

(1) Use cold water and stir it as the gelatin powder is added.
(2) Use hot water and stir it as the gelatin powder is added.
(3) Place the gelatin powder in a chilled container and pour lukewarm water over it.
(4) Place the gelatin powder in water that contains ice cubes.
(5) Place the gelatin powder and water at room temperature in a closed container and shake it.

Please help me.​

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think because the hot water would enable it to dissolve much faster as compared to cold water.its like when adding sugar to a cup of tea it would dissolve much faster in hot tea rather than cold tea
