Which of the following affect how fast a solid solute dissolves except?
A. 
Freezing
B. 
Stirring
C. 
Temperature
D. 
Particle size
Correct Answer A. Freezing
Explanation Freezing does not affect the rate at which a solid solute dissolves. When a solute dissolves, the solvent molecules surround the solute particles and break them apart. This process is not affected by freezing, which is the conversion of a liquid into a solid due to a decrease in temperature. Stirring helps to increase the rate of dissolution by bringing fresh solvent into contact with the solute. Temperature affects the rate of dissolution, as higher temperatures provide more energy for the solute particles to break apart and mix with the solvent. Particle size also affects dissolution, as smaller particles have a larger surface area available for interaction with the solvent, leading to faster dissolution.
