Agitation, temperature, and surface area of the dissolving particles determine how fast the substance will dissolve. using these three factors, describe how you can increase the rate of sugar dissolving in a cup of tea.

Agitation, temperature, and surface area of the dissolving particles determine how fast the substance will dissolve.

to increase the rate of sugar dissolving in a cup of tea:

Agitation - by stirring w a spoon, the sugar solid will be agitated n dissolve faster in tea.

temperature - by heating the tea, the sugar will dissolve faster in tea.

surface area of dissolving particles - by using granular sugar instead of sugar cube, the contact surface area w tea is increased. granular sugar will dissolve faster in tea.

i believe you are right for all except the 3rd ( look at sqdancefan his answer is much better)

answer is: naturally occurring solid, inorganic compound or element is mineral.

minerals usually have crystalline form, that means than crystal constituents (atoms, molecules or ions) are arranged in a highly ordered microscopic structure, forming a crystal lattice that extends in all directions.

for example magnetite is a mineral of iron oxide (fe₂o₃).

calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (caco₃).

dolomite is an   carbonate mineral composed of calcium magnesium carbonate (camg(co₃)₂).
