Which Property Of Water Explains Its Solvent Abilities For Certain Substance?
The polarity of water makes it a perfect solvent and it is considered as a universal solvent because of this characteristic. The chemical structure of water makes it a universal solvent. There are hydrated ions which are surrounded by water molecules and when a solute or a substance is dissolved in water, the atoms of water molecules are disassociated and negative ions or hydroxyl ions of water surrounds the positive ion of the solute and the positive hydrogen ions surrounds the negative ions of the solute. In this way water appears as a universal solvent.
