How does temperature affect the speed with which the solute dissolves?

Higher temperature increases the speed of solubility.
Lower temperature increases the speed of solubility.
A constant temperature increases the speed of solubility.
A variable temperature increases the speed of solubility.

Answer:

Higher temperature increases the speed of solubility

Step-by-step explanation:

"Solubility" refers to the ability of a solute to be dissolved in a solvent. Solubility and temperature are directly proportional. This means that as the temperature increases, the solubility of a substance increases too. In the same manner, as the temperature decreases, the solubility of a substance decreases too.

High temperature produces high heat (increase kinetic energy) that triggers the solvent to break the solutes apart. This is mostly true for many solid-state solutions.
