water is a polar solvent.it contain slightly charges in either sides.specially in hydrogen side,it takes negative(-) charge and in oxygen side,it takes a positive (+)charge.so it is a polar solvent.ionic compounds disolve well in water than others.other polar solutes too disolve in polar solvents.

What are Water-rock interactions?
•Water interacts with minerals to form new minerals • •Addition of water •Migration of soluble components •Removal of soluble components •Redox changes •Exchange with water constituents.
Why are minerals that are highly water soluble difficult to find in large deposits or are found only in dry regions?
There is a lot of water on earth. A lot of it. And it is continually recycled. It has a tendency to wash anything that is water soluble into the ocean, where it remains dissolved as the water cycle continues. This has been happening for millions and millions of years, and a lot of water soluble minerals have been dissolved in seawater over that time.In contrast, we can find water soluble minerals in dry regions. In places where it is extremely arid, there is so little precipitation that the water soluble minerals haven't been dissolved and washed away like they have been in other regions.
Why must fertilizers be soluble in water?
Because plants take up water with the minerals they require dissolved in them.
Notice that in the city waterworks slouble impurities are not removed from water why do you think is not necessary?
This is not nessesory because most of the soluble impurities are minarals and minerals are healthy for our body.This why the city waterworks allow the soluble impurities
Does the body have a limited capacity to store some vitamins and minerals?
Yes. Especially water-soluble vitamins and minerals, they will eventually be processed through the liver and kidneys, and extracted then ejected from the body if not used.
Are minerals fat-soluble or water soluble?
minerals are usually water soluble

Are water- soluble vitamins and minerals affected by canning?
yes
What happens to minerals in the soil before they can get into roots?
They have to be soluble in water - dissolved

What 2 materials dissolve in hot water minerals?
Calcium chloride and sodium carbonate are soluble in water.

What are three common evaporite minerals?
Evaporite minerals are water-soluble mineral sediments that were formed from precipitation. The three common evaporite minerals are gypsum, anhydrite and halite.
What is cows urine is composed of?
Urea, water, and other excess water-soluble vitamins and minerals that were not needed in the cow's body.
Why oceanic water absorb so many minerals in it?
Ocean water absorbs a lot of minerals because water is such an excellent solvent for so many substances. Combine with that, the abundance of existing dissolved materials that can form soluble salts with many existing minerals and you have an excellent environment for dissolving minerals that start out as oxides.
