H20 is very common lab solvent and is called universal solvent because Water molecules have a polar arrangement of the oxygen and hydrogen atoms-one side (hydrogen) has a positive electrical charge and the other side (oxygen) had a negative charge

Do formulas H2O2 and H2O represent that same compound?
No H2O2 is hydrogen peroxide while H2O is water the universal solvent.
What is the difference between a solute and a solvent?
In a solution, the substance present in the largest amount is considered the solvent, and the other(s) is/are considered the solute(s). Example: 1 ml ethanol + 2 ml H2O: water is the solvent and ethanol is the solute. 1 ml H2O + 2 ml ethanol: ethanol is the solvent and H2O is the solute.
List of non-solvent cleaners?
In an accurate scientific sense, the term "non-solvent cleaner" has a very different meaning to how the term is commonly used. Non-solvent means that what is being cleaned-up does not dissolve in the cleaning liquid. In many cases soapy water does not dissolve what is being cleaned, so is a non-solvent cleaner. In common use, non-solvent is very often used to mean non-hydrocarbon.
What is the difference between a solute and solvent?
In a solution, the particles which are present in larger quantity are called solvent and the particles which are present in smaller quantity are called solute. For example, in aqueous NaCl solution: NaCl is the solute particle and H2O is the solvent.
If you have a solution of saltwater. In this solution what is the solvent and what is the solute?
The solvent is the water (chemical formula H2O). The solute is the salt (table salt, NaCl or another substance).
What is the major solvent in the human body?
Water (H2O) is the most common solvent but an universal solvent don't exist.
Is H2O a solvent?
Yes it is a solvent.Iht is a polar solvent.
What is solute and solvent of bath water?

What are synonyms for water?
Universal Solvent and H2O
Which molecule is classified as the universal solvent?
Water (H2O) is largely used as a solvent; but an universal solvent cannot exist.
What is sulution?
A solute is the smaller substance that is dissolved in the solvent. Solvent is defined as an aqueous solution such as H2O.
Is there anything that is both a solute and solvent?
yes, H2O.
What is water frequently called?
H2O The universal solvent
Is H2O a solute?
Water is usually used as a solvent.
Is hydrogen rare or common?
Hydrogen is very common. It's the H in H2O (water).
What is the best solvent?
Water is considered the universal solvent.
The solubility of NaCl in H2O?
NaCl is table salt, H2O is water, go pour some in and find out. it totally dissolves in water....nothin' special :) NaCl is ionic And H2O is a polar solvent therefore ionic in a polar covalent are soluble in a polar solvent.
