Question

Responses

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

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.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

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

Stirring the solution helps to mix the solute and solvent more effectively, leading to more frequent collisions between the particles, which accelerates the dissolution process.
