Question

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

Open in App

Solution

A substance (solute) 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”.
