Question
What happens to the rate of dissolution of salt when you stir it after pouring it into a solvent?a.it decreasesb.it increasesc.it decreases by halfd.it stays the same
Solution
The rate of dissolution of salt increases when you stir it after pouring it into a solvent. So, the correct answer is b. it increases.
Here's why:
-
When salt is added to a solvent (like water), it begins to dissolve, meaning it breaks down into its individual ions and disperses evenly throughout the water.
-
Stirring the solution speeds up this process. This is because stirring increases the contact between the solvent and the solute (in this case, the salt), which allows more salt to interact with the water at once.
-
As a result, the salt dissolves faster, so the rate of dissolution increases.
So, stirring a solution of salt and water will increase the rate at which the salt dissolves.

You are tasked to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of dissolution of salt in water. So you dissolved 10 grams of salt by pouring it into the water, then immediately stirred the solution clockwise 3 times. You then time how long it will take for the salt to disappear in the water completely. The data table below summarizes your experiment. If you increase the amount of salt to 20 grams and do the experiment again, what do you think will be the effect of temperature on the rate of dissolution for this scenario?a.the colder the water, the faster the salt dissolvesb.the colder the water, the more grams of salt can be dissolvedc.the hotter the water, the faster the salt dissolvesd.the hotter the water, the more grams of salt can be dissolved
