To increase the rate of dissolution of a solute in a solution, the correct response would be:
Decrease the particle size of the solute because it would increase how often the solute and solvent particles would collide.
By decreasing the particle size, you increase the surface area of the solute that is exposed to the solvent, allowing more frequent interactions and collisions, which enhances the rate of dissolution.
