C. Stir the solution
Explanation:
There's 3 main factors you should know that affect dissolution:
- Temperature : The
#color(blue)("higher")# the temperature, the#color(blue)("more")# solute you will dissolve. - Agitation: The
#color(blue)("more agitated")# the solution, the#color(blue)("more")# solute you will dissolve. - Particle Size: The
#color(red)("larger")# the particle size, the#color(red)("less")# solute you will dissolve.
Given this:
Answer A is incorrect: Decreasing temperature will only decrease the amount of solute you dissolve.
Answer B is incorrect: Allowing the solution to settle means that you are not agitating it, which means you will not dissolve as much solute.
Answer D is incorrect: Larger particles mean that you will dissolve less solute.
Answer C is correct: By stirring, you're agitating the solution, which means you'll dissolve a greater amount of solute.
Hope that helped :)
