Can you do these?
- I can state that substances with similar intermolecular interactions tend to be miscible or soluble in one another.
How is Solubility tested on the exam?
You will be assessed on your ability to explain the degree to which a model or representation describes the connection between particulate-level properties and macroscopic properties (Skill 4.D). This may involve analyzing particulate models of mixtures to determine if substances will be miscible or soluble based on their intermolecular forces.
