Why does stirring increase the speed of a solute dissolving in water

When you stir a solute, more surface area of the substance is exposed to the solvent.

Explanation:

The higher the surface area in relation to volume is, the faster a solute will dissolve.

Try it and see. My guess is that stirring would increase the rate of dissolution.

Explanation:

So get 2 beakers, fil them up with 10 g salt, and add 100 mL water. Put a magnetic follower in one of the beakers, place it on a stirrer and let it rip. Measure the time, and see if the unstirred beaker still has solute on the bottom.

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

(note: if you don’t know what ⇌ means, read below: -

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
