Evaluating Alternatives to Water as Solvents for Life: The Example of Sulfuric Acid
The chemistry of life requires a solvent, which for life on Earth is water. Several alternative solvents have been suggested, but there is little quantitative analysis of their suitability as solvents for life. To support a novel (non-terrestrial) biochemistry, a solvent must be able to form a stabl...
