Answer:

The rate at which the solute dissolves will increase.

Explanation:

If a solution is stirred, the rate at which a solute dissolves would increase substantially provided the solution is not yet saturated.

Stiring would cause more of the solution to come in contact with every part of the solute. It will increase the surface area of contact for the solution to act which will shoot up the rate of reaction. Stiring helps to bring solutes in solutions into a more close contact with the molecules or compounds of the medium.

The reaction between $m_{2}SO_{4}$ with calcium chloride can be shown as- $m_{2}SO_{4}$ + $CaCl_{2}$ → $CaSO_{4}$ ↓+2mCl. The molecular weight of $CaSO_{4}$ is 136.14g. The weight of sulfate ion is 96.06g. The molecular weight of $m_{2}SO_{4}$ = (2×m + 96.06). From the reaction we can see that 1 mole of calcium chloride reacts with 1 moles $m_{2}SO_{4}$ to produce 1 mole of calcium sulfate. Now 1.36g of calcium sulfate is equivalent to 1.36/136.14=9.989× $10^{-3}$ moles of calcium sulfate.
