You are tasked to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of dissolution of salt in water. So you dissolved 10 grams of salt by pouring it into the water, then immediately stirred the solution clockwise 3 times. You then time how long it will take for the salt to disappear in the water completely. The data table below summarizes your experiment. If you increase the amount of salt to 20 grams and do the experiment again, what do you think will be the effect of temperature on the rate of dissolution for this scenario?a.the colder the water, the faster the salt dissolvesb.the colder the water, the more grams of salt can be dissolvedc.the hotter the water, the faster the salt dissolvesd.the hotter the water, the more grams of salt can be dissolved
Question
You are tasked to determine the effect of temperature on the rate of dissolution of salt in water. So you dissolved 10 grams of salt by pouring it into the water, then immediately stirred the solution clockwise 3 times. You then time how long it will take for the salt to disappear in the water completely. The data table below summarizes your experiment.

Solution
The correct answer is c. the hotter the water, the faster the salt dissolves. This is because increasing the temperature of the water increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules, which in turn increases the rate at which they can interact with and dissolve the salt. However, increasing the amount of salt to 20 grams will likely increase the time it takes for all the salt to dissolve, even if the water is hotter, because there is more salt for the water molecules to interact with and dissolve.
