Which of the following would not affect the rate of dissolution of salt in a beaker of water?

a. stirring the solution

b. increasing the pressure of the solution

c. decreasing the size of the salt particles

d. increasing the temperature of the solution

Dissolution is the process of dissolving a solute in a solvent. I think the correct answer is B. Increasing the pressure of the solution will not affect the rate of dissolution given a solid solute since solid is non-compressible thus it is not affected that much with pressure. Also, known factors of dissolution are temperature, surface area and mixing rate.
