Increasing the surface area of the solute

• increases the rate of dissolution
• increases solubility
• decreases the rate of dissolution
• has no effect on the rate of dissolution

Water in air is an example of which solute-solvent combination?

If the amount of solute present in a solution at a given temperature is less than the maximum amount that can dissolve at that temperature, the solution is said to be

• supersaturated
• concentrated
• saturated
