Water is generally a good solvent for ionic compounds. Why?
Water is a polar compound with a high dielectric constant (81).
Hence, it decreases the electrostatic forces of attraction acting between the
oppositely charged ions in an electrovalent compound. Therefore, the ions are
separated and dissolution occurs. Dissolution of electrolytes in water is also
favoured due to hydration of ions.
