Ways to increase the rate of solvation?

Agitation, the increase of surface area of the solute, and the increase in temperature of the solvent

Heating the solution Stirring the solution Using a catalyst

1. Stir or shake the solution 2. Expose more surface by crushing a solid solute. 3. Warm the solution.

1) Use a catalyst2) Increase the temperature3) Concentrate the reactants4) Increase the surface area
