2. Name three factors that influence the rate at which a solute dissolves in a solvent?

Heat, molecular size, and surface area

Explanation:

Heat: higher temperatures are directly correlated to higher kinetic energy. With more kinetic energy, the solute molecules move faster and the bonds are more likely to break.

Molecule size: usually at the same temperature and pressure, the solute with smaller molecular size dissolves faster. A large molecule usually has a heavier weight and size, which makes it more difficult for the solvent to surround it and help break its bonds.

Surface area: increasing surface area generally increases the solubility rate. This is because with a higher area, more molecules are exposed to the solvent, so their bonds are more likely to break.

the answer is:  

line graphs show patterns in data with variables that change over time; whereas, circle graphs show data as parts out of a whole (such as out of 100%).
