Answer:

false.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since temperature and kinetic energy of molecules are proportional, the more we increase the temperature of the solvent, the faster the solute will dissolve.

This increase of kinetic energy allows the solvent molecules to more effective break apart the solvent molecules that are held together by intermolecular forces.
