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)

Question

Responses

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

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

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

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

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

Stirring a solution helps to mix the solute and solvent more effectively, which increases the frequency of collisions between the particles, facilitating the dissolution process.
