Explain the solubility rule "like dissolves like" in terms of intermolecular forces that exist in solutions,

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For one substance to dissolve into another substance, the two substances should have similar intermolecular interactions. This is so only when either both the substances (solute and solvent) are polar or both are non-polar. This rule is called ''like dissolves like.''
