What does 'like dissolves like' mean?

• Opposite substances dissolve each other

• Similar polarity substances dissolve each other

• Non-polar substances dissolve polar substances

What increases the rate of dissolving for a solid into a liquid?

• cooling the solution

• decreasing the size of solute particles

• Reducing the agitation of the solution
