1.	Consider the following statements with regard to the properties of water I . Water is a good solvent for ionic compound but poor solvent for covalent compound . II . Water is a good solvent for covalent compound but poor solvent for ionic compound . III . Water has maximum density at the temperature 277 K . Which of the statements given above are correct ?
Answer» I and III only II and III only I and II only I , II and III Solution :Water is a polar solvent HENCE , ionic COMPOUNDS are soluble in this whereas covalent compounds are not. Water has MAXIMUM density at `4^(@)C` or 277 K . Above or below this temperature the density will decrease.
