What do scientists use to increase the surface area of a solute?
A mortar and pestle
What do you calll the substance in a solution that dissolved?
The substance dissolved is called the solute. The substance that the solute is dissolved INTO is called the solvent.
Is solubility Measured in grams of solute per gram of solution?
Solubility may be measured in grams of solute per gram of SOLVENT (not solution)
How can you express the solution in percent by volume?
Per cent by volume means mls of solute per 100 mls solution. So you need to know the volume of the solute and the total volume of the solution. Divide volume of solute by volume of solution and multiply by 100 to get per cent by volume.
How do you find the mass percent mole fraction molality and molarity of a solution?
Mass percent = grams of solute/total grams of solution Mole fraction = mols component/total mols mix. Molarity = mols solute/L solution Molality = mols solute/kg solvent Hope this helps :)
Why does crushing help a solid solute dissolve?
The rate of dissolution of a solid is dependent on the surface area reaction. By crushing the cube, the surface area is greatly increased, thus increasing the rate of dissolution.
How do you increase amount of solute to dissolve amount of solvent?
crushing particles of solute
Why does crushing a solid increase the speed at which the solid dissolves?
ALL reactions (apart from Nuclear) take place on the surface. By crushing the solid you are increasing the surface area and also the SA/Volume ratio. This increased surface area increases the area available for the dissolution reaction.
What are 3 methods of increasing the rate at which a solute can be dissolved in a solvent?
Increase the surface area of the solvent by crushing or grinding it, increase the temperature of the solvent, and/or stir the mixture.
Why does a solid solute dissolve quicker if it is crushed into smaller particles?
YES by crushing it into smaller particles we increase the surface area thereby increasing its contact with the solution
Why does crushing solute increases the rate of solution?
More surface area is exposed.
How can you increase the solubility of a gaseous solute?
Decrease the temperature, if aqueous. Increase the pressure.
What can be done to make a solid solute dissolve faster in liquid solvent?
Examples:- increase the temperature- increase the pressure- stir the mixture- grind the solid solute
How do you increase the solubility of a solution?
The term 'solubility of a solution' is meaningless. Perhaps you mean how do you increase the solubility of a solute in a solvent? In that case, if your solute is a solid, increase the temperature, and if it is a gas, decrease the temperature.
Why does reducing solute particles size increase the speed at which the solute dissolves in water?
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
