Two attributes that help matter dissolve more quickly are:
-
Temperature: Increasing the temperature of the solvent generally increases the solubility of solids and gases in liquids. Higher temperatures provide more kinetic energy to the molecules, allowing them to interact and break apart the solute more effectively.
-
Agitation: Stirring or shaking the mixture helps to disperse the solute throughout the solvent, facilitating more interactions between the solute and solvent molecules. This can lead to faster dissolution of the solute as it increases the contact between the particles.
