What are the different stages in dissolution

Question

Accepted Answer

Dissolution is the process by which a solid substance dissolves in a solvent to form a solution.

The first stage is the wetting stage, where the solid substance comes into contact with the solvent.
The second stage is the dissolution stage, where the solid substance dissolves in the solvent.
The third stage is the diffusion stage, where the dissolved substance diffuses away from the solid surface into the bulk of the solvent.
The final stage is the saturation stage, where the solution becomes saturated with the dissolved substance and no more can dissolve.
Factors that affect dissolution include temperature, agitation, surface area, and solubility of the substance.
