hello. Simple question here for somebody just learning the basics. On the atomic scale what’s the difference between agitation and heat? For example, diluting salt in water. If you increase the heat of the water, more salt dissolves. Stirring it also makes the salt dissolve more too it seems. But what’s the difference between stirring (agitation I’m guessing is what it’s called) and heat? Both are increased movement of molecules. So how come stirring the glass really fast with a spoon doesn’t Heat it up a lot?
