Which statement shows the correct understanding of solubility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The same solute may have different solubility in different solvents
Solubility depends on interactions between the solute and solvent. Changing the solvent changes properties such as polarity and intermolecular attraction, so the same solute can dissolve to different extents in different liquids. Therefore A is correct. The other statements make absolute claims contradicted by common solution behaviour.
