What is the explanation behind the higher rate of dissolution in higher temperature?

Please explain in terms of Kiinetic Molecular Theory. I know it's something related to where higher temperature increases particle motion. I'm not sure, well, help please.

And give me some sites, where you at least got that idea, just in case.

  1. The Kinetic Molecular Theory has to do with GASES, not dissolving a solute in a solvent. But you are correct in stating that the average kinetic energy of a particle increases with temperature. This increase in KE allows a more forceful collision between reacting particles and thus a greater probability of reaction.


  2. When temperature increases the ions in the substance get free to go and move faster with each other making a lot of friction between them. The order increases gradually as temp increases in terms of Kinetic Molecular Theory!
