In the picture below, both persons carry the same mass of rock salt to be dissolved in the same volume of water. Which of the following statements below is true?
a. The rock salt of person A will dissolve slower because of the larger surface area.
b. The rock salt of person B will dissolve faster because of the smaller surface area.
c. The rock salt of person B will dissolve faster though the surface area of the salt is the same with that of person A.
