20.

Why does salt dissolves faster in water if you stir it?

a)

Solvent and solute particles move faster and allow the solute to fill up empty spaces between solvent particles

b)

Solvent and solute particles gain more heat energy to move in empty spaces inbetween them

21.

23.

Why does salt dissolves faster in hot water?

a)

Hot water hive high kinetic energy to solvent and solute perticles

b)

More collision between solute and solvent particles
