Question

(a) Why is water called the universal solvent? (b) Define solubility. How can it be increased in water​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Water is called the "universal solvent" because it is capable of dissolving more substances than any other liquid. This is important to every living thing on earth. ... This allows the water molecule to become attracted to many other different types of molecules.

b) the ability to be dissolved, especially in water

c) For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature. The increase in kinetic energy that comes with higher temperatures allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by intermolecular attractions

Answer 2

Explanation:

1.Water is capable of dissolving a variety of different substances, which is why it is such a good solvent. And, water is called the "universalĺ solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid.

2.For many solids dissolved in liquid water, the solubility increases with temperature. The increase in kinetic energy that comes with higher temperatures allows the solvent molecules to more effectively break apart the solute molecules that are held together by

intermolecular attractions.
