16.)Which of the following properties of water help to dissolve sugar? A.) adhesion
B.) cohesion
C.) surface tension
D.)Universal Solvent

D

Explanation:

The property of water that helps it to dissolve sugar is the universal solvent property.

Water has the inherent attribute to dissolve a wide variety of substances due to the arrangement of the atoms that make up water molecules. The molecules of water are made up of hydrogen and oxygen, with the latter being negatively charged while the former is positively charged.

The polar arrangement gives water the capacity to be able to dissociate ionic substances into their respective positive and negative ions and also allow water to dissolve more substances than any other solvent in the world.

The correct option is D.
