1. Solubility When molecules interact, attractive and repulsive forces are in effect. When the attractive and repulsive forces are equal, the potential energy between two molecules is minimum and the system is most stable

When a solute dissolves. the substances intermolecular forces of attraction must be overcome by forces of attraction between the solute and solvent molecules a This entails breaking the solute-solute forces and the solvent-solvent forces to achieve the solute-solvent attraction

a The solubility of an agent in a particular solvent indicates the maximum concentration to which a solution may be prepared with that agent and that solvent a When a solvent at a given temperature has dissolved all of the solute it can, it is said to be saturated
