Jenny dissolves as much salt as she can in 100 mL of room-temperature water. She learned in class that less salt will dissolve in cold water than in hot water. Jenny adds some ice to the salt water and observes what happens. What effect will adding the ice to the solution have on the amount of salt that can be dissolved into it?

The thing about the lesser amount of salt dissolved in cold water that was learned by Jenny is true. This is because, the movement of the salt in the solution becomes less and there is no enough kinetic energy between them that would promote contact with other molecules making it possible for dissolution.
