Hello,

How can you tell if a substance like CO(2) is small enough to be soluble while having the London forces holding it together? is there an equation? how am I supposed to know if a substance is too big to be soluble while having London forces?

thank you ;D

I think it is the first time I see these things mentioned together, TBH I have no idea what the question is.

Holding what together?
