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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

It the intermolecular interactions are similar in both constituents, i.e., solute and solvent then solute dissolves in the solvent, e.g., polar solutes dissolve in poolar sol vents and non-polar solutes in non-polar solvents.
Thus th estatement like dissolves like' proves to be e.g., organic compounds dissolved in non-polar organic solvent while polar inrganic compounds (salts) dossolve in polar solvent (water).
