because there are 2 totally different types of molecules, you have the polar and apolar molecules. the polar molecules will only dissolve in a polar solvent, the apolar moleculesin a apolar solvent.
this is the reason why oil doesn't mix with water. oil is apolar and water polar
as it cannot dissolve everything.e.g wood,stone etc
Because water cannot dissolve everything.It cannot dissolve plastic.So it is known as a good solvent and not a universal solvent.
water is the universal solvent as it can dissolve most of the substances in it
water itself is a universal solvent
Water is a very good and known solvent but it is not an universal solvent. An universal solvent doesn't exist and is absolutely impossible to obtain an universal solvent.
A universal solvent doesn't exist; water is a good solvent for many materials.
A universal solvent doesn't exist; water is a good solvent for many materials.
water is considered the universal solvent because it can dissolve so many materials.
water itself is a universal solvent
yes water is a universal solvent as it has the property of dileteral constant which can almost break all covalent bonds as hence dissolves the matter into it
No. Water is the universal solvent.
Salt is not called the universal solvent. Water is called the universal solvent.
Water is the Universal solvent
Water is a universal solvent because my mom said it is
its the universal solvent because it dissolve in water and the dipole charteristics makes it a universal solvent
water is the universal solvent now
Water is a tremendously versatile solvent, and is often described as the closest thing that we have to a universal solvent. But no, it does not dissolve everything. The answer is NO, so therefore WATER IS NOT A UNIVERSAL SOLVENT ! And the most important characteristic of water as a solvent is that water has a polar molecule.
Water is a very good and known solvent but it is not an universal solvent. An universal solvent doesn't exist and is absolutely impossible to obtain an universal solvent.
Water is a universal solvent.
It is still considered a universal solvent.
