Water is a good solvent of ionic salts because

A. it has a high boiling point

B. it has a high dipole moment

C. it has a high specific heat

D. it has no colour

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Water is a good solvent of ionic salts because it has a high dipole moment. Salts are ionic compounds which, when dissolved in water, break up completely into ions. They arise by the reaction of acids with bases, and they always contain either a metal cation or a cation derived from ammonium (NH4+).
