Why is water called the universal solvent

Chemistry

Answer: It dissolves a variety of solutes in it.

Explanation: Water is capable of dissolving a variety of solutes in it so called as universal solvent.

It has the ability to dissolve solutes more than any other liquid. It is a very essential component of earth because water flows and carries many  nutrients and minerals dissolved in it.

It is due to its chemical composition that allows it to do so.It has a polar arrangement of oxygen which provides negative charge and hydrogen molecules provides positive charge.

This provides water the ability to dissolve many solute particles in it.

Because water is able to dissolve in many things and most of this world is made out of water so no country or state doesn't have water, some have infected water with lead in them and others don't, but water can dissolve in salt, that's why they call it salt water and also tapped water where u put some mixtures in them to make it have flavor.

In the ground-state electron configuration of fe3+, how many unpaired electrons are present? express your answer numerically as
Virty [35]
Answer:
            Iron has 5 unpaired electrons in Fe⁺³ state.

Explanation:

Iron having atomic number 26 has following electronic configuration in neutral state.

                             Fe =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁶

When Iron looses three electrons it attains +3 charge with following electronic configuration.

                             Fe⁺³ =  1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 3d⁵

The five electrons in d-orbital exist in unpaired form as,

                          3(dz)¹, 3d(xz)¹, 3d(yz)¹, 3d(xy)¹, 3(dx²-y²)¹

taurus [48]

Answer:

No, there is no evidence that the manufacturer has a problem with underfilled or overfilled bottles, due that according our results we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

Explanation:

according to this exercise we have the following:

σ^2 =< 0.01 (null hypothesis)

σ^2 > 0.01 (alternative hypothesis)

To solve we can use the chi-square statistical test. To reject or not the hypothesis, we have that the rejection region X^2 > 30.14

Thus:

X^2 = ((n-1) * s^2)/σ^2 = ((20-1)*0.0153)/0.01 = 29.1

Since 29.1 < 30.14, we cannot reject the null hypothesis.

Which of the following covalent bonds is the most polar?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

D.) H-O

Explanation:

Polarity is determined based on the difference in electronegativity of the atoms. The greater the difference, the more polar the bond. The general trend is that the atoms in the top-right corner of the periodic table are the most electronegative.

A.) is incorrect because H-H has no electronegativity difference, making it nonpolar.

B.) and C.) are incorrect because their electronegativity differences are not the greatest.

D.) is correct because the electronegativity difference between the H and O is the greatest.
