The solubility of a substance can be increased by increasing the amount of solvent in a solution.

Explanation:

Two ways by which the rate of dissolving for substance can be increased.

1 By increasing the temperature of the solution: Increase in temperature will in turn increase the entropy or disorder or randomness of the solute molecules in a solution thus increasing the rate of dissolving the substance in that solution.

2 By increasing the volume of the solution : increase in the volume of the solution by adding more solvent can also increase the dissolving rate of a specific substance in a solution.
