To increase the rate of dissolution of a solute in a solution, the correct action would be:
Decrease the particle size of the solute because it would increase how often the solute and solvent particles would collide.
Decreasing the particle size increases the surface area of the solute, which enhances the interactions between solute and solvent molecules, leading to a faster dissolution rate. The other options would not be effective for increasing the rate of dissolution.
