Question

How is solute concentration related to the solute-solvent interactions and the rate at which the solute dissolves?

A) Decreasing the solute concentration increases the solute-solvent interactions and decreases the rate at which the solute dissolves.

B) Increasing the solute concentration increases the solute-solvent interactions and increases the rate at which the solute dissolves.

C) As the solute concentration changes, the solute-solvent interactions decrease and the rate at which the solute dissolves increases.

D) When the solute concentration decrease, the solute-solvent interactions change and the rate at which the solute dissolves decreases.

Answer 1

Answer: B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the solute concentration increases the solute-solvent interactions and increases the rate at which the solute dissolves.

Answer 2

B

Step-by-step explanation:

solute is what gets dissolved in the solvent

ie: salt in water. salt is the salute and the more of it you add to the water (solvent) the more interactions will occur increasing rate
