Here's why:

* Solubility: Solubility is the maximum amount of a substance (like salt) that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent (like water) at a specific temperature.

* Temperature and Molecular Motion: As temperature increases, water molecules move faster and have more energy. This increased energy allows them to break apart the ionic bonds holding salt crystals together more effectively, leading to greater dissolution.

In simple terms: Think of it like stirring sugar in your tea or coffee. Hot drinks dissolve sugar much faster than cold drinks because the warmer water molecules can better break down the sugar crystals.
