Question

A student observes that instant tea dissolves more rapidly in a cup of 250 mL of stirred hot water than in a cup of 250 mL of stirred cold water. Which is the most relevant hypothesis that the student could develop based on this observation?

A.
Volume affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in a solvent.
B.
Temperature affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.
C.
Stirring affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.
D.
Pressure affects the rate that instant tea dissolves in water.

Please answer my question!

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

In this question, there is no mention of pressure, so we can eliminate answer D. In both cups, it mentions they contain 250 mL of water and both are stirred, so these would be constants. The only difference between the cups is temperature, so temperature must affect the rate that instant tea dissolves in water. Therefore the answer is B.
