Question

A scientist wants to decrease the rate at which a solute dissolves in a liquid. What should the scientist do? a) Cool the liquid. c) Heat the liquid. b) Stir the mixture. d) Break the solute into smaller pieces.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Cool the liquid

Explanation:

When the temperature of a solvent is decreased, the solubility decreases and hence the solute takes more time to dissolve in it.

Answer 2

Answer:

cool the liquid

Explanation:

the cooler the liquid the longer the solute will take to dissolve because it won't melt as fast as it would melt if the water was heated.
