Answer: The correct answer is water is considered to be a universal solvent.

Explanation: Water has a molecular formula of $H_2O$ having 2 atoms of hydrogen atom and 1 atom of oxygen atom. This is a polar molecule because of the presence of electronegativity difference between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Since, it is a polar molecule and it will attract other polar molecules towards itself which means that polar molecules can easily get dissolved in water when it is used as a solvent.

It is known as the universal solvent because it dissolves more substances more than any other liquid.

Therefore, water is known as the universal solvent.

If measuring experimental results, what can you predict about the work output of a 1200 watt hair dryer? the work output of the

eimsori [14]

Answer: first option, the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input.

Explanation:

1) The work output measured in watts is the power of hair dryer measured in joules per second.

2) The hair dryer converts electrical energy from the wall outlet to mechanical and thermal energy: hot wind.

3) Nevertheless, you can never expect a 100% efficiency of the machines: due to friction, some energy is converted into useless energy.

So, efiiviency = power output / power input< 1 ⇒

power output = work output / time

input power = work input / time

⇒ work output / work input < 1

⇒ work output < work input.

Which is the first option: the work output of the hairdryer will be less than the work input
