It makes the water molecules move faster.

(Explanation for the answer by Wiki User which is correct)
Due to the water molecules moving faster, it causes them to bump into the solute more often, which also causes the solute to disperse throughout the solution faster, therefore dissolving it faster.
It makes the water molecules move faster.
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
It exposes more of the solute surface to the water molecules.
Apex - It makes the water molecules bump into the solute more. ^.^
Increasing the temperature of the water will typically speed up the dissolving process of a solid solute as it increases the kinetic energy of the water molecules, allowing them to break apart the solute more effectively. Stirring or agitating the solution also helps by increasing the contact between the solute and solvent, enhancing the dissolving rate.
