Two key attributes that help matter dissolve more quickly are:
-
Temperature: Increasing the temperature of the solvent generally increases the kinetic energy of its molecules, which can lead to more frequent and effective collisions with the solute particles, facilitating faster dissolution.
-
Agitation: Stirring or shaking the solution helps to distribute the solute particles throughout the solvent more evenly, preventing saturation in one area and allowing for more solute to come into contact with the solvent, thus enhancing the rate of dissolution.
