To increase the rate of dissolution of a solute in a solution, the correct response is:
Decrease the particle size of the solute because it would increase how often the solute and solvent particles would collide.
Decreasing the particle size increases the surface area of the solute, allowing more solvent particles to interact with the solute, which can lead to a faster rate of dissolution.
