Why is mixing salt and water a reversible reaction?

• The salt can be recovered by filtering the solution.
• Mixing salt and water is an irreversible reaction.
• The salt can be separated from the water by distillation.
• The salt can be recovered from the solution by evaporating the water.

This picture shows a test to find out about factors that affect dissolving.

What factor that affects dissolving is being tested?

• The temperature of the solvent are the different.

• The particles of the solute are different sizes.

• The solute was not stirred completely.
