Asked by Zanaya

A student in a chemistry lab decides to stir a solution in order to make the solute dissolve faster. Why will this
work? (1 point)

It will decrease the amount of energy needed for the solute to dissolve.

O It will decrease the distance between the solute and solvent particles.

O It will increase the surface area of the solute particles.

O It will increase how often the solute and solvent particles collide.

It will increase how often the solute and solvent particles collide.

Stirring moves fresh solvent to the solute surface and removes the saturated boundary layer, increasing contact and collision frequency and so speeding dissolution.
