To make a solution for an experiment, Gunther needs to add 40 g of a solute to 100 g of water. When making the solution at room temperature, he could only add 34 grams before the solute settled out.What could he do to dissolve the remaining 6 grams of the solute?

A
Put the solution in an ice bath, dissolve the solute, and let the solution return to room temperature.
B
Heat the solution, dissolve the solute, and let the solution cool verifying nothing settled out.
C
Add more water, boil the solution, and dissolve the solute until the some of the water evaporates.
D
Keep the solution at room temperature, add more water, and dissolve the excess solute.
