Question

Increasing the surface area of a solid ___________ the rate of solution.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Size of the particles -- When a solute dissolves, the action takes place only at the surface of each particle. When the total surface area of the solute particles is increased, the solute dissolves more rapidly. Breaking a solute into smaller pieces increases its surface area and increases its rate of solution.
