Factors affecting solubility of
Temperature solids Shaking
increased temperature causes
solids to dissolve faster Shaking (agitation) causes
solids to dissolve faster
Particle Sizee
Smaller particles dissolve
Faster because they have
more surface area
Note: Increasing the amount of solute
DOES NOT increase the rate of dissolving
