Jennifer is trying to dissolve salt in water. Which will cause the salt to dissolve faster in the water? Options: A) increasing the temperature of the water. B) using larger pieces of salt. C) stirring the mixture more slowly. D) using less water

Answer 1

The answer to this would be A) Increasing the temperature of the water.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the solubility of the solids increase when the temperature of water increase. B) Using larger pieces of salt. is not correct, because the bigger something is the longer it takes for it dissolve. C) Stirring the mixture more slow. is not correct, due to the fact that there is less agitation of the molecules, which results in a slower rate of dissolving. While D) Using less water. would result in the salt having less water to dissolve in.
