Why is water called the universal solvent

Chemistry
2 answers:
kirill [66]3 years ago

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.

Q 1. Element M is a metal that forms compounds of the type MX2, MX3, and MX4, where X is a Chlorine (Cl).
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The ionic radius of metal M decreases as the charge on the metal M increases. The ionic radius is generally defined as the distance between the nucleus and the outermost electron of the ion. Hence, ionic radius becomes much lesser as the magnitude of the positive charge increases.

It is obvious  from the various formulae of metal chlorides in the question that the metal forms cations M^2+, M^3+ and M^4+ respectively. The order of decreasing ionic radius of the compounds is;

MX2 > MX3 > MX4

How is radiation related to electromagnetic waves and thermal energy?
Daniel [21]
Well, radiation, in terms of physics, is the emission of electromagnetic waves

now, electromagnetic waves can take many different forms like visible light, radio waves,  gamma radiation, ultraviolet light. Depending on its wavelength or frequency

thermal energy or heat generally takes the form of infrared light and all light is an form of electromagnetic wave

4. Consider the following half-reactions: MnO4–(aq) + 8H+(aq) + 5e– → Mn+2(aq) + 4H2O(l) NO3–(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 3e– → NO(g) + 2H2O
jeyben [28]

Explanation:

The chemical reaction given in the question is as follows -

MnO₄⁻ (aq) + 8H⁺ (aq) + 5e⁻ → Mn²⁺ (aq) + 4H₂O (l)

NO₃⁻ (aq) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 3e⁻ → NO (g) + 2H₂O (l)

As we know , the value for reduction potential are -

Mn²⁺ = + 1.51  V

NO₃⁻  =  +0.96 V

From , the data given above , the value of the reduction potential of NO₃⁻ is less than the reduction potential of Mn²⁺ .

Hence ,

NO₃⁻  can not oxidize Mn²⁺ .
