Because water can dissolve more substances than any other liquid.
Explanation:
- Water is the source of life on earth.
- It has the potential to dissolve more substances than any other liquid this is why it is sometimes called a Universal Solution.
- The polarity of each molecule of water makes it a solvent.
- The hydrogen part of the H2O carries a little positive electric charge with it while the oxygen part contains some negative electric charge.
- Both these help water to separate the ionic compounds into the positive and the negative ions.
- Since water has this quality of dissociation it is called the Universal Solution.
