Front

What happens to the rate of dissolution of a solid solute when the temperature of a solution is increased?

Back

The rate of dissolution generally increases.

Front

How does breaking a solid solute into smaller pieces affect its dissolution rate?

Back

It increases the rate of dissolution.

Front

What are the two main components of a solution?

Back

Solutes and solvents.

Front

Which factor does NOT affect the rate of dissolution of a solid solute in an aqueous solution?

Back

The color of the solute.

Front

In a solution, what is the substance called in which the solute is dissolved?

Back

Front

What is the definition of a solute?

Back

A solute is a substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.

Front

What is the definition of a solvent?

Back

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution.

Front

What effect does stirring have on the rate of dissolution of a solid solute?

Back

Stirring generally increases the rate of dissolution.

Front

What is the relationship between surface area and the rate of dissolution?

Back

Increasing the surface area of a solid solute increases the rate of dissolution.

Front

What is an aqueous solution?

Back

An aqueous solution is a solution in which water is the solvent.
