Homework question, cant find the answer anywhere: "how are chemical reactions governed by solubility?"

thank you so much in advance

Answer:
The greater the solubility of the species in the reaction solvent (it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be water) - the higher it's concentration will be in the reactants for an equilibrium reaction:

A + B <--> D + E

If you consider Le Chatlier's principle, a higher concentration of reactants will shift the equilibrium in favor of products, so a higher solubililty will shift toward more yield of products, and the lower solubility will shift toward a lower yield of products.

Most reactions take place in water. Only those things which dissolve can react. Free ions, dissociated in water react quicker.
only polar chemical can dissolve polar chemicals. Same with nonpolar.

example: oil nonpolar can't dissolve water polar
