In which option is the word “aqueous” used incorrectly?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Calling brass an aqueous solution
“Aqueous” means that water is the solvent of a solution. Brass is a homogeneous solid alloy, mainly containing copper and zinc, so it does not have water as its solvent and cannot be called an aqueous solution. In salt water and sugar water, water is the solvent. Oxygen dissolved in water also forms a gas-in-liquid aqueous solution, so B, C, and D are appropriate.
