Erika Clay · Answer 1

the water at 98°C would be the slowest at dissolving the salt

Xander Oneill · Answer 2

Option A. water at 15°C

Explanation:

The question's context clearly states that salt dissolves more quickly in water when the its molecules are moving very quickly; it means very hot water. So the answer would be the opposite, because they are asking for the temp in which the salt would dissolve most slowly. So the answer in this case will be the lowest one, which is 15°C
