Chapter 14, Problem 87A

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Three ways to increase the rate of solvation have to be mentioned.

Concept introduction:

Solvation: Solvationis the process where the solute particles are surrounded by the solvent molecules to form solution.

Answer to Problem 87A

The factors that increase the rate of solvation.

1. With increasing the temperature.
2. With increasing the surface area of the solute particles.
3. Stirring or shaking the solution.

Explanation of Solution

The rate of solvation increases with increasing the temperature. The rate of solvation also increases with increasing the surface area of the solute and the rate of solvation can increase by shaking the solution.
