1) due to its polar structure,water is an excellent solvent for electrovalent moecules like mineral salts,mineral acids,and bases.these are all inorganic solvents,. 2)all covalent compound which contain the hydroxyl group will also dissolve in water e.g organic solids like sugar and organic liquids like ethanol and propane 1,2,3-triol(glycerol) 3)all gases will react with water to some certain extent.gases like ammonia and hydrogen chlorude will ionize in solution are found to be soluble in water.other gases like carbon(IV)oxide will ionise slightly in solution are found to be fairly soluble in water.gases which do not ionize at all in water are only sparingly in water e.g oxygen,hydrogen,nitrogen and carbon(II)oxide Solution 1) due to its polar structure,water is an excellent solvent for electrovalent moecules like mineral salts,mineral acids,and bases.these are all inorganic solvents,. 2)all covalent compound which contain the hydroxyl group will also dissolve in water e.g organic solids like sugar and organic liquids like ethanol and propane 1,2,3-triol(glycerol) 3)all gases will react with water to some certain extent.gases like ammonia and hydrogen chlorude will ionize in solution are found to be soluble in water.other gases like carbon(IV)oxide will ionise slightly in solution are found to be fairly soluble in water.gases which do not ionize at all in water are only sparingly in water e.g oxygen,hydrogen,nitrogen and carbon(II)oxide.
