Question

which property of water allows it to be a universal solvent?
○ surface tension
○ adhesion
○ capillary action
○ polarity

Explanation:

Water's polarity means it has a partial positive charge on hydrogen and partial negative charge on oxygen. This allows it to interact with and dissolve polar and ionic substances, making it a universal solvent. Surface tension, adhesion, and capillary action are other properties but not related to solvent ability.

Answer:

polarity
