rate of dissolution

Front

What is the rate of dissolving?

Back

How fast a solute dissolves in a solvent.

Front

Why does the rate of dissolving increase as the temperature increases?

Back

The solute molecules move faster at higher temperatures.

Front

What is the effect of agitation on the rate of dissolving?

Back

It increases the rate of dissolving.

Front

How can you speed up the rate of syrup dissolving in milk?

Back

Warm up the syrup before putting it into the milk.

Front

What is a solute?

Back

A substance that is dissolved in a solvent.

Front

What is a solvent?

Back

Front

What is a solution?

Back

A homogeneous mixture of a solute and a solvent.

Front

How does particle size affect the rate of dissolving?

Back

Smaller particles dissolve faster than larger ones.

Front

What role does surface area play in the rate of dissolving?

Back

Increased surface area allows for faster dissolving.

Front

What happens to the rate of dissolving when you increase the pressure?

Back

Increasing pressure generally increases the rate of dissolving for gases.
