How will the rate at which a solid solute dissolves change if the solution is stirred? the rate at which the solute dissolves will stay the same. the rate at which the solute dissolves will increase. the rate at which the solute dissolves will decrease. the rate at which the solute dissolves will fluctuate.

The rate at which the solute dissolves will increase.

Explanation:

If a solution is stirred, the rate at which a solute dissolves would increase substantially provided the solution is not yet saturated.

Stiring would cause more of the solution to come in contact with every part of the solute. It will increase the surface area of contact for the solution to act which will shoot up the rate of reaction. Stiring helps to bring solutes in solutions into a more close contact with the molecules or compounds of the medium.
