Why is it water can be dissolved?

Answer 1

Water is polar. This is a result of a considerable difference in charge across the length of the water molecule. The oxygen end of the molecule has unshared electrons that do not participate in a chemical bond. The hydrogen end of the molecule has 2 hydrogen nuclei, which consist of a proton each. Electrons are negative and protons are positive, hence the charge difference. Ionic solutes, by definition, are polar as well, since they consist of a cation and an anion. So, polar water is able to dissociate, or "pick them apart."

Answer 2

Water is practically the purest liquid in the world. Think about it: If you let a lot of lemonade evaporate, the water would leave, and the rest would stay behind. The stuff left behind is a solute. Solutes dissolve in water because it is pure. Pretty much every other liquid besides water is already a solute mixed with water.

Answer 3

Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has unequal distribution of electron density, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules or ions. This property enables water to dissolve many substances, as the partial charges on its molecules can interact with the charges on the solute molecules, breaking them apart and forming a homogeneous mixture.

Answer 4

Water itself is not highly soluble. Many materials, such as some vitamins, have a high water solubility, which means that they are easily diluted with water.

Answer 5

it can't actually be dissolve but it can evaporate.

Answer 6

because it can dissolve tons of solutes
