Question

The rate of solubility depends on the size of solute to be dissolved.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• The smaller the particle size, the greater the dissolution rate of the solute.
• This is due to the fact that the surface area in contact with the solvent increases with the decrease in the size of the particles.
• Solubility: It is defined as the maximum amount of a solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a given temperature.
• Solute: The minor component in a solution, dissolved in the solvent.
• Solvent: The major component in a solution, in which a solute is dissolved to form a solution.

Hence, the given statement is true.
