NEETChemistrySolutions
What is the fundamental principle behind the solubility rule "like dissolves like" in relation to the intermolecular forces present in solutions?
Options
- ASolubility is determined by the similarity of intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent.
- BSolubility is solely dependent on the chemical composition of the solute.
- CSolubility is determined by the temperature of the solvent.
- DSolubility is unrelated to intermolecular forces.
Correct answer
A. Solubility is determined by the similarity of intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Solubility is determined by the similarity of intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent.
