PLEASE HELP ASAP

What would increase the dissolution rate (the rate a solid dissolves) in a liquid?

Question 1 options:

decreasing the temperature of the solvent


grind the solvent into smaller pieces


stirring much more slowly


adding more solid to the liquid.

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer choice would be to grind the solvent into smaller pieces.

When the solid is in smaller pieces, it would take less time for the dissolver to dissolve the smaller bits, since the pieces are smaller and take up less volume for the dissolver to go through.

With a bigger solid, the dissolver would just chip away at the solid before eventually dissolving the solid, although this could take some time.
