Solution
The correct option is E I, II and III only The rate of solubility of solid in water can be increased by increasing the temperature of water and with the help of stirring because both increase the kinetic energy of the solid particles in water,
Increasing the surface area increases the rate of solubility of a solid because a larger number of molecules of the greater suface area have contact with the solvent.
