When you measure how fast a solute dissolves, you are measuring the

• amount of dissolving

• rate of particle movement

• amount of particle movement

• rate of solubility

The smaller the particle size results in a....

• increase in solubility

• decrease in solubility

• decrease in surface area

• increase in bond strength

In the above picture, a powder is about to be poured into the liquid. Which of the following should be done to make this powder dissolve faster?

• stir the powder in the liquid
• freeze the mixture
• add more powder to the liquid
• store the mixture in a dark place

Which of the following does not affect the solubility of a solute in a solvent?

• The rate of stirring

• The size of the solute

• The temperature of the solvent

• The amount of the colloid added

Sugar dissolves faster in hot tea compared to iced tea.

What is the factor affecting the rate of solubility in the statement above?

• Rate of stirring

• Temperature
