If attraction between solute and solvent particles is strong, what happens to solubility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solubility is higher
Dissolution requires separating solute particles and making room among solvent particles, followed by formation of solute–solvent interactions. If the new interactions are sufficiently strong and favourable, the energy balance supports mixing and the solubility tends to be higher. This is a general principle, not an absolute rule; temperature and the original lattice and solvent interactions also matter.
