Zora wants to dissolve a solute in a solvent quickly. Which best describes what she should do?

Shaking repeatedly stirs the solvent and brings fresh solvent into contact with the solute, speeding up dissolving. Decreasing surface area generally slows dissolving, and placing the mixture in a refrigerator usually lowers the temperature, which also slows the dissolving of most solid solutes. Therefore, “shake it repeatedly” is the best choice.
