Increase the Rate of
Dissolving Solids
A solvent will only dissolve a limited quantity of solute at a definite temperature. However, the rate at which the solute dis- solves can be accelerated by the following methods:
1. Pulverize or grind up the solid to increase the surface area
of the solid in contact with the liquid.
2. Heat the solvent. This will increase the rate of solution because the molecules of both the solvent and the solute move faster.
3. Stir vigorously.
Combinations of all three methods, when practical, will dissolve solids more quickly.

*Add solid to acid solution, stir, then dilute to 1 L. Remember, always add acid to water.
†Approximate amount for 1 L of saturated solution. Keep adding solute until it no longer dissolves; stir for 1 hour, then filter.
§Use hot water, stir vigorously.
Distilled or Deionized Water—
Which Do I Need?
Distilled water is free of inorganic materials, suspended impurities, and most organic contaminants. To make or buy distilled water is expensive. While there may be school laboratory applications where distilled water is required, in many applications, deionized (aka demineralized) water will do just as well. Deionized water, like distilled water, is free of inorganic materials and most suspended contaminants. If you need organic-free water, buy a still or buy distilled water.
