Question

solubility is determined by:
select the correct answer below:
solute - solute forces
solvent - solvent forces
solute - solvent forces
all of the above

Explanation:

Solubility depends on solute - solute forces (how solute particles interact with each other), solvent - solvent forces (how solvent particles interact with each other), and solute - solvent forces (how solute and solvent particles interact). If solute - solvent forces are strong enough to overcome solute - solute and solvent - solvent forces, the solute will dissolve. So all three types of forces are relevant in determining solubility.

Answer:

all of the above
