Which mechanism causes increased solubility in supercritical fluids?

A)Increased London dispersion forces
B)Increased hydrogen bonding network
C)Reduced dipole-dipole interactions
D)Breaking of covalent bonds

💡 Explanation

Increased London dispersion forces cause solubility because as fluid density increases, interactions with solute molecules rise, dissolving them via Van Der Waals forces; therefore solubility increase, rather than dipole interactions as polar solvents don't dissolve nonpolar substances efficiently.
