A solvent is a substance that can dissolve an other substance. Water is one of the best solvents in fact it is often called the "universal" solvent. It is the structure of water that makes it such a great solvent. Because water is polar it will disolve other polar molicules as well as ionic compounds.

Water would be on top of hexane in a mixture because water is denser than hexane.

This separation occurs due to their differing polarities, as water is polar and hexane is nonpolar.
