What will happen if nothing dissolves …

We are so lucky to get a solvent like water which dissolves solutes of a great range -----both ionic and covalent compounds. The polar nature of water and it's ability to form hydrogen bond help it to dissolve the solutes of vast range.

This ability of water directly linked with the existence of life. When we define life we try to provide some distinguishable properties of it ,among them Metabolism is well pronounced . Metabolism is net outcome of all the reactions that are taking place in a living object . All these reactions provides the living being a non-equillibrium state which is actually necessary for a living being to be living. And water provide the medium for all these reactions .It's the vast range of solubility in water that enable it to provide the arena of metabolic reaction.

The cytoplasm which is also called the Arena of cellular reactions is nothing but water with so many dissolved and suspended particle.

Actually no life could even be originated if there was no dissolving property of water. We have evidences that proves that water hosted the first life on earth.
