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.)

What is the major solvent in the human body?
Water (H2O) is the most common solvent but an universal solvent don't exist.
Water universal solvent?
Water is a universal solvent because my mom said it is
Water is important to the interactions of biological molecules because?
1. Its cohesive properties. 2. Its temperature stabilizing effect. 3. It is a liquid at room temperature. 4. It has the capacity to dissolve many substances.
What are the four life supporting properties of water?
1. 1. The Cohesion of water 2. 2. The ability of water to moderate temperature 3. 3. The biological significance of ice floating 4. 4. The solvent of life
Is known as the universal solvent because it dissolves more solutes than any other solvent?
Water.
What properties of water give it the distinction of being called the universal solvent?
The polarity of water gives it the distinction of being called the universal solvent.
How does the shape of the water molecule contribute to its solvent properties?
The cause is the polar character of water molecule.
How does the shape of the water molecule contributes to its solvent properties?
The cause is the polar character of water molecule.
What are three properties of water?
Universal solvent, polarity, density, cohesion, adhesion
What accounts for waters properties of adhesion and cohesion?
The solute (NaCl) is dissolved in the solvent (water)
What biological functions are made more effective by the hydrogen bonding properties in water?
Water is a very good solvent.
Does plain water evaporate quicker than salt water?
Yes, this is based on the colligative properties of liquid. Whenever, a solute( like salt) is added to a solvent(like water), the following happen to the properties of the solvent. 1. Elevation of freezing point. 2. Depression in freezing point
What characteristic of water accounts for properties of adhesion cohesion high specific heat and nature as a solvent?
:l
Are solvent cohesive and temperature stabilization properties of water due to its hydrogen bonds?
hydrogen bonds
What are the 3 properties of water?
1. H2O is polar 2. Universal solvent 3. Solid form of water is less dense (ice)
Why does adding salt to water increase density?
Any solution has different properties compared with a solvent. The composition is different.
Which of these properties of water cannot be attributed to hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
non polar molecule
