What are three factors that affect the rate at which something will dissolve?

Answer 1

#"(i) particle size of the solute:"# smaller particle size will favour dissolution.

#"(ii) temperature of the solvent:"# dissolution is generally a bond-breaking process, which is favoured by higher temperatures.........

#"(iii) intrinsic solubility of the solute:"# a solute might have good or indifferent solubility in the solvent.

So there are three. These are both kinetic and thermodynamic factors. Do I win £5-00?

Surface area of the solute particles
Temperature of the solvent
Agitation or stirring of the solution

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
