'Water is the universal solvent'. Comment.
उत्तर
Water dissolves many substances forming an aqueous solution. It can dissolve solids, liquids and gases. When a solid dissolves in water, the solid is the solute, the water is the solvent and the resultant liquid is the solution. So, it is said that water is a universal solvent. In other words, water can dissolve nearly every substance.
