How does cutting a substance make it dissolve faster? a. increases the surface area b. makes the particles move faster c. increases the amount of solute

Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When we cut a substance then more surface area of the substance comes in contact with the solvent. As a result, more number of solute particles come in contact with the solvent.

This will lead to more number of collisions between the solute and solvent. Hence, there will be rapid formation of products.

Thus, we can conclude that cutting a substance make it dissolve faster as it increases the surface area.

a

explanation:

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
