Q. Water can dissolve more substances than any other liquid because.

• It is dipolar in nature.
• It is a good conductor of heat
• It has high value of specific heat
• It is an oxide of hydrogen

Answer: (a) It is dipolar in nature.

Water

• A substance that displaces most compounds is known as a universal solvent. Water is known as the universal solvent because, while not complete, it can dissolve more compounds than any other solvent.
• Molecules that have partially charged positive and negative areas are polar. Because of its polar nature, which gives each molecule a hydrophobic (fear of water) and hydrophilic (love of water) side, water dissolves more compounds than any other solvent, as is known. The oxygen atom carries a tiny negative electrical charge, whereas the side of the molecules with two hydrogen atoms carries a slight positive electrical charge.
• Water’s polarization makes it possible for it to draw in a wide variety of molecules. Water can split the substance into its ions due to the strong attraction to ionic molecules like sodium chloride or common salt. Other molecules, like sucrose or sugar, don’t break up into ions, instead, they spread out evenly in the water.
