In which option are both binary and aqueous classifications correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Salt and water
A salt-water solution contains two components: salt and water, so it is binary. Water is the solvent, so it is also aqueous. The second option has three components and is ternary, while the metallic and gaseous mixtures in the other options do not have water as solvent. Component number and solvent identity are separate bases of classification.
