Three students are mixing the same type of solute in 500 ml of water. Jessica is heating her solution, Larry left his on the counter at room temperature, and Hunter is heating his solution while stirring it. Which ranks who would fully dissolve the solute, from first to last?

a. Larry → Jessica → Hunter
b. Hunter → Jessica → Larry
c. Jessica → Hunter → Larry
d. Hunter → Larry → Jessica

The solutions with the most solute rank from:
Hunter → Jessica → Larry

This is because heating a solution causes the solubility of solutes within it to increase. Moreover, agitating the solution causes the crystals to disintegrate and improves solubility.

The rank of the rate of dissolution according to the illustration would be Hunter first, Jessica second, and Larry third.

Dissolution rate of solutes in solvents

When it comes to the solubility of solutes in water:

Solubility of solutes in solutions increases with an increase in temperature.
Solubility also increases with an increase in entropy. Entropy is increased by stirring the solution.

Thus, heating and stirring will increase the dissolution rate the most (Hunter), followed by ordinary heating (Jessica), and then leaving the solution at room temperature (Larry).
