What is the rate of dissolving
1 answer
The rate of dissolving refers to the speed at which a solute dissolves in a solvent to form a solution. This rate is affected by various factors such as temperature, surface area of the solute, agitation, and concentration gradient. A solute dissolves faster at higher temperatures, when it is in smaller particles or has a larger surface area, when the solvent is stirred or agitated, and when there is a larger difference in concentration between the solute and solvent. The rate of dissolving is typically measured in terms of mass or moles of solute per unit time.
