    • SOLUTION is HOMEGEENOUS (has the SAME composition, color, density and taste throughout
  65. Describe how temperature affects the rate of dissolving. Give an example.
    • INCREASING temperatures causes the particles to move faster, which cause solutes to dissolve FASTER.
    • sugar dissolves faster in hot tea than ice tea
  66. Explain the relationship between surface area and rate of dissolving of a solid in a liquid
    a LARGER surface area INCREASES the rate of dissolving since the dissolving of a solid in a liquid occurs at the surface of the solid
