Question

Explain the solubility rule “like dissolves like” in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions.

✓

Answer

A substance dissolves in a solvent if the intermolecular interactions are similar in both the components.
For example: Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar solutes in non-polar solvents. Thus, we can say “like dissolves like”.
