Why does agitation affect the rate of dissolution?

0

Agitation produces convection, moving bulk groups of molecules around. As something dissolves, the concentration of solute rises in its vicinity, slowing the rate. Agitation removes solute-laden solvent in the vicinity of the solid, and brings in fresh, low-concentration regions of solute.
