Question

Why is it said that
(a) Air is a homogeneous mixture of
various gases.
(b) Water is a universal solvent.
(c) There is no alternative to water for
cleaning purposes.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Air is a homogeneous mixture of gases as it is primarily made up of nitrogen and oxygen. Its elements are not readily separated or distinguished from one another. b. Water is a very good solvent as it can dissolve almost every substance in it, therefore water is known as the “universal solvent”.
