'Like dissolves like' implies that:
ASolubility depends only on temperature
BPolar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar in non-polar
CPolar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents
DAll solutes dissolve in water
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non-polar in non-polar
Solutes dissolve well in solvents with **similar intermolecular interactions**: polar–polar (NaCl in water) and non-polar–non-polar (naphthalene in benzene).
