Water is called the "universal solvent" because it dissolves more substances than any other liquid. This means that wherever water goes, either through the ground or through our bodies, it takes along valuable chemicals, minerals, and nutrients.

So, water is the most universal solvent we know about, and we have a flower vase to clean up. Lots of hard mineral stuff on its sides. So we get some "pure water" and scrub ... To make the otherwise insoluble buckyball dissolve in water, the chemists had mixed it with a circular sugar-like molecule called a cyclodextrin.

Because many things will dissolve in water and it is universally available. The universal solvent from days of old, aka Alkahest, was a substance, sought after by alchemists as it was thought to dissolve every other substance, including gol...

Hi Karin, Water (H2O) can dissolve more substances than any other solvent (including acids), so it is called the universal solvent. It is so good at dissolving many different substances for two reasons: 1. Water is a non-ionic, polar molecule.

Because of its high polarity, water is called the universal solvent. A solvent is a substance that dissolves, or breaks apart, another substance (known as a solute). A general rule that determines whether a substance will dissolve in a solvent depends upon its polarity.
