Jadiel Kaufman · Answer 1

The attraction between solute particles affect its ability to dissolve in the solution because more is the attraction between particles less will be the chances that solute particles will combine to the solvent particles.

As a result, there will be decrease in solubility with increase in force of attraction between solute particles.

Whereas when there is less force of attraction between solute particles then more easily solute particles will combine with the solvent particles.

Hence, with decrease in force of attraction between solute particles, the rate of dissolution will increase.

The correct answer is due to solubility.

Explanation:

The solubility of a substance called solvent in another called solute is determined by the balance of intermolecular forces between the solvent and solute. This is expressed by the variation in entropy that accompanies solvation. Factors that can vary such as temperature and pressure influence this equilibrium, thus changing the solubility of the substances.
