Dissolving Materials Quiz

What are the factors that affect the rate of dissolving?

• Time of day

• Temperature, surface area, agitation, and the nature of the solute and solvent

• Distance from the equator

• Color of the solute

Which of the following factors does not affect the rate of dissolving? A. Temperature B. Surface area C. Color D. Stirring

• D

• B

• A

• C

Why does stirring affect the rate of dissolving?

• Stirring decreases the contact between the solute and the solvent.

• Stirring has no effect on the rate of dissolving.

• Stirring causes the solute to separate from the solvent.

• Stirring increases the contact between the solute and the solvent.

What happens to the rate of dissolving when the temperature of the solvent increases?

• Rate of dissolving increases

• Rate of dissolving becomes solid

• Rate of dissolving remains the same

• Rate of dissolving decreases

What is the process called when a solute completely mixes with a solvent?

• Dissolution

• Evaporation

• Condensation

• Sublimation

What is the term for a solution that cannot dissolve any more solute at a given temperature?

• diluted

• saturated

• unsaturated

• overloaded

How does the type of solvent affect the rate of dissolving?

• It can affect the rate of dissolving by impacting the solubility of the solute and the interactions between the solute and solvent molecules.

• It only affects the color of the solution

• It has no effect on the rate of dissolving

• It can speed up the rate of dissolving by decreasing solubility
