Detailed explanation-1: -Because of its polarity and ability to form hydrogen bonds, water makes an excellent solvent, meaning that it can dissolve many different kinds of molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Water is a solvent, which means that it allows other substances to dissolve in it. In fact, water dissolves more substances than any other solvent, giving it the name ‘universal solvent’. Water has a high heat capacity, which means that it takes a lot of heat to change its temperature.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water is called a ‘universal solvent’ because water can dissolve much more substances than any other liquid found in nature but water cannot dissolve every substance. For example-water cannot dissolve fats, waxes, and hydroxides due to the low solubility of oppositely charged particles.
