Question

Water acts to dissolve molecules in the body. how does water dissolve the salt (nacl) in your mouth from a salty pretzel?

Answer 1

Due to the fact that sodium and chloride act as a solvent.

Because sodium and chloride are drawn to the partial positive charge on hydrogen in water and the partial negative charge on oxygen, water serves as a solvent.

The ionic link is broken as a result of the dissociation of sodium from chloride. Water is a polar solvent, which is defined as having a significant dipole moment, or partial charge.

Due to the large difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen, when salt is added to water, the Na+ ions are drawn out and encircled by the O- side of the water molecules, whereas the Cl- ions are surrounded by the H+ side of the water molecules.
