Determining Solubility

Which of the following would NOT increase the rate at which a sugar cube dissolves?

• Reducing the amount of solvent

• Crushing the sugar cube

• Stirring the solution

• Heating the solvent

You can make a solute dissolve more quickly in a solvent by

• adding more solute.

• adding ice.

• heating the solvent.

• removing some solvent.

Stirring the solution...

• decrease the rate of solubility

• Doesn't change the rate of solubility

• increase the rate of solubility

• None of the above

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
