Water has extremely high polarity, making it an effective solvent for ionic and polar materials. It is non toxic and easy to dispose of. It does not have toxic fumes. It is cheap to obtain ( in some forms and compared to other solvents ).

What is the consequences of solvent properties of water?

A consequence depicts the result of an action. Are you asking what properties of H2O cause a material to go into solution? Different materials react differently with water; thus, solvency depends on the material. (Salt dissolves easily, but oil does not.)


How does the shape of water make life possible?

Cause God made it like that. If you want to go into detail, it has three main properties such as a boiling point that gives us liquid water, ice that is less dense than water, so it floats, and its a good polar solvent.

Dimethyl ethyl is a chemical compound with properties that make it useful as a solvent and in the production of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. It is flammable and can be harmful if inhaled or ingested. It is commonly used in industrial settings for its solvent properties.


What special properties does water have because it is a polar molecule?

Water has unique properties due to its polarity, such as cohesive and adhesive behavior, high surface tension, and the ability to dissolve many substances. Its polarity allows water molecules to form hydrogen bonds, which contribute to these properties and make water essential for life processes.


If more solvent is added to a solution?

Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.

What are the eight properties of water?

The eight properties of water are cohesion, adhesion, high specific heat, high heat of vaporization, lower density as a solid, universal solvent, high surface tension, and capillary action. These properties make water essential for life and various natural processes.


How does the polarity of water molecules make water an effective solvent?

The polarity of the water molecule is what makes water a great solvent. It called the universal solvent.


When you make a solution of Koo-aid and water is the solute or solvent?

The Kool-Aid is the solute because the solute is the thing that dissolves, and the water is the solvent because the solvent is the thing that dissolves something. Solute=Kool-Aid Solvent=Water
