Question

which of the following statements about water is true? it has a relatively low heat capacity. it is the universal solvent. it contains ionic bonds. it is composed of nonpolar molecules. it has a low boiling point.

Explanation:

Water is often called the universal solvent because it can dissolve a wide - variety of substances. Water has a high heat capacity, not low. It has polar covalent bonds, not ionic bonds. Water molecules are polar. It has a relatively high boiling point (100°C at standard pressure) due to hydrogen - bonding.

Answer:

It is the universal solvent.
