I have discovered that 1. is a substance that is being dissolved while a solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute. 2. is a measure of the amount of solute that dissolves in a given solvent at a particular temperature. There are factors affecting solubility process, 3. increases the speed of contact and collision of solvent molecules with solute particles, thus increasing the rate of dissolving process. The 4. the size of the solute particle, the greater the surface area of contact with the solvent, the faster it will dissolve. The nature of solute means that 5. solute dissolves in a nonpolar solvent.
