Question

Do solids dissolve more rapidly when crushed?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface Area

The rate at which a solute dissolves depends upon the size of the solute particles. ... A given quantity of solute dissolves faster when it is ground into small particles than if it is i n the form of a large chunk because more surface area is exposed

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Energy, which is the capacity to do work or produce heat, affects the rate at which a solute will dissolve. Breaking up, crushing or grinding a sugar cube before adding it to water increases the sugar's surface area. ... This means the finer the sugar particles, the faster it will dissolve.

Sugar dissolves faster in hot water than it does in cold water because hot water has more energy than cold water. When water is heated, the molecules gain energy and, thus, move faster. As they move faster, they come into contact with the sugar more often, causing it to dissolve faster.
