Melting and dissolving are not the same. Melting is the process of a solid turning into a liquid due to heat, while dissolving is when a solid substance mixes with a liquid to form a solution.
No, a solid does not melt when it dissolves in a liquid. Melting involves a solid turning into a liquid due to heat, while dissolving involves a solid breaking down into smaller particles and dispersing in a liquid solvent without a change in state.
The rate of dissolving would be temperature dependent.
When a solid, liquid , or gas is dissolved in another substance, the result is a solution.
Temperature and particle size of the solid will affect both the rate of dissolving and the solubility in a liquid. Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of dissolving and solubility, while smaller particles increase the rate of dissolving due to increased surface area available for interaction with the solvent.
It will increase it, as more of the outer surface of the solid is incontact with the liquid that it is dissolving in. :)
increases
If the temperature of the area the dissolving solid is in is warm, the air can make the dissolving solid warm too, and eventually completely dissolve the object.
The solid is dissociated in ions.

Break up the solid
is dissolving a chemical or physical changeWell, it is not. Because you are not changing the chemical identity of the solid. It's still solid chemically and water chemically.
Dissolving?
by the process of fractional distillation
ಠ_ಠ Really? It's called DISSOLVING.
heat
There are three ways in which the dissolving of a solid in a solution can be increased. 1) Use a powered form of the solid, this increases the surface area that is exposed to the solvent. 2) Heat the mixture up. 3) Agitate the mixture (stir it).
