"Like dissolves like"
This is simply stating that a solute will dissolve best in a solvent that has a similar polarity to itself.
For example, a very polar (hydrophilic) solute such as NaCl is very soluble in highly polar water and and practically insoluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene. However, a non-polar (lipophilic) solute such as carbon dioxide is insoluble in water and highly soluble in non-polar benzene.
For a non-polar solute such as carbon dioxide to become more soluble in water, the pressure of the system would have to be increased. This is why most sodas are under 5 atmospheres of pressure.

What one of these defines the like dissolves like rule of solubility?
The "like dissolves like" rule of solubility states that substances with similar polarity or intermolecular forces are more likely to dissolve in one another. In other words, polar solutes tend to dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar solutes tend to dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
How does solubility work?
Solubility is the ability of a substance (solute) to dissolve in a solvent to form a homogeneous mixture (solution). It depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent. In general, like dissolves like - polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, and nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents.
A general statement on how the nature of the solute and the solvent affects solubility can be stated as?
The nature of the solute and solvent can affect solubility due to factors such as polarity, molecular structure, and intermolecular forces. Like dissolves like, so polar solutes tend to dissolve in polar solvents, while nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents. Additionally, solubility can be influenced by temperature and pressure.
What factors determine is a product is soluble or issoluble?
The sole factor which determines solubility is the ability for a certain product to evenly distribute itself amongst another product on a mollecular scale. If the two properties can't mix on such a small scale, such as different colour marbles, it is referred to as a chemical mixture. If the two substances can mix on such a small scale, they are referred to as a solution, such as salt dissolving in water.
Does solubility decrease as temperature increase and why does helium show minimal change?
In general, solubility decreases as temperature increases for gases due to the decrease in gas solubility with higher temperatures. Helium shows minimal change in solubility with temperature because it is very nonpolar and does not interact strongly with water molecules, making its solubility relatively insensitive to temperature changes.
How does the solubility of a substance change with a rise in temperature?
With a rise of temperature, the solubility increases
Are polar and non polar liquids soluble?
Generally not. The general rule to go by is like dissolves like. Polar substance will dissolve other polar substances while nonpolar substances will dissolve other nonpolar substances.
Are lipids water soluable?
The lipids are a large and diverse group of naturally occurring organic compounds that are related by their solubility in nonpolar organic solvents (e.g. ether, chloroform, acetone & benzene) and general insolubility in water.
Can water molecules dissolve nonpolar substances?
No, the substance needs to be at least weakly polar to dissolve in water. The general rule "like dissolves like" works for this. You need a non-polar substance to dissolve non-polar substances. That's why you should wash your hands with soap and water. Water will take care of the majority of impurities on your hands, and soap with take care of the rest.
What substances that do not dissolve easily in water?
you know water is a polar substance and can solve only polar substances and ionic substance it is not able to solve fat , oil or other organic (usually) substances (oil). by ionic substance I meant substances such as salt
What is the general guideline for the prediction of solubility?
There is no ONE general guideline for predicting solubility. There are, however, a list of rules which can be consulted to predict the solubility of most compounds. One example of these rules can be found at the Chemwiki site.
Does the temperature affects the solubility?
Yes, it does. In general, liquids and solids solubility will increase with temperature. The opposite for gases
