Water is the greatest solute in the world?

Answer 1

I would definitely classify water as the solvent of life. Water is unusually versatile because its polar molecules are attracted to charged and polar substances and the polarity of water molecules result in hydrogen bonding. The four emergent properties of water contribute to the Earth's "fitness for life." the four properties are cohesion, moderation of temperature, insulation of bodies of water by floating ice and being the solvent of life. The ions and polar substances surrounded by water molecules dissolve and are called solutes.

Answer 2

Water has a pH level of 7. It is not an acid nor base.

I believe it is a good solvent for polar extractions, although acetone would be your best bet, so long as you don't plan to consume the end product.

There are polar, and non-polar molecules. Polar bonds to polar, non-polar bonds to non-polar.

Example: Oil is non-polar, water is polar. They don't mix because the polar and non-polar molecules don't bond.

To shorten the answer: No.

Answer 3

Water is actually the universal solvent, not solute. It has the ability to dissolve a wide range of substances due to its polar nature and hydrogen bonding capabilities. This makes it crucial for various biochemical processes and supports life on Earth.

Answer 4

Water is generally a solvent, not a solute. Therefore, no.

Answer 5

Yes, it is!
