Identify the properties of water that make it a universal solvent. These include its polarity, ability to dissolve polar substances, and its cohesive and adhesive properties.
Understand that water's polarity allows it to dissolve many substances, particularly ionic and polar compounds, due to the attraction between water molecules and the charged particles.
Recognize that water has a high heat capacity, which is a separate property related to its ability to absorb and retain heat, not directly related to its solvent properties.
Consider the nature of nonpolar solvents. Nonpolar solvents do not dissolve polar substances well, which is the opposite of water's behavior as a solvent.
Conclude that the property 'Nonpolar solvent' does not apply to water, as water is a polar solvent, making it effective at dissolving polar substances.
