Which answer best describes why water dissolve most salts? Water is polar and salts form ions in solution. Water is nonpolar and salts form ions in solution. Water has the same density as salt Water has a different density than salts

Respuesta :

Answer: Water is polar and salts form ions in solution.

Explanation:

According to the concept of “Like dissolves like”, the polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, and non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar solvents.

Water being a polar solvent due to large electronegativity difference between hydrogen and oxygen is able to interact with the ions of the solute.

As water molecules are also polar in nature. So, oppositely charged ions interact with each other and dissolve in it.

Water can form hydrogen bonds with most of the substances and hence dissolve them . Thus water is considered as a universal solvent.
