Which experiment best shows water’s ability to act as a solvent? a)raise the temperature of water and record its boiling point. b)freeze a flexible vessel of water and watch it expand. c)pour an ionic solid into water and see if it vanishes. d)place a leaf on top of the surface of water and see if it sinks.

c)Pour an ionic solid into water and see if it vanishes

Explanation:

Water is known to be a polar solvent. A polar solvent interacts with ionic solutes effectively and dissolves them. Hence, when an ionic solid is poured into water, it interacts strongly with the solid particles until the solid completely dissolves. When the solid completely dissolves, the solid disappears and s single phase is observed.

Hence water is a solvent given that it can dissolve a solute.

explanation:

a fuel engine ( known as a gasoline engine in american english )is an internal combustion engine with spark ignition, designed to run on petrol (gasoline) and similar volatile fuels.
