non - polar solutes are soluble in which of the following?
select the correct answer below:
non - polar solutes
polar solutes
non - polar solvents
polar solvents

Explanation:

The principle “like dissolves like” is used. Non - polar solutes have intermolecular forces that match those of non - polar solvents. Polar solvents have strong dipole - dipole or hydrogen bonding forces which non - polar solutes can't interact with effectively. Solutes don't dissolve in other solutes (they are mixed, not dissolved in the true sense here). So non - polar solutes are soluble in non - polar solvents.

Answer:

C. non - polar solvents
