Which option may be a ternary but aqueous solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Salt, sugar and water
Salt, sugar, and water represent three components, so the mixture can be classified as ternary. Since water is the solvent, it can also be called aqueous. The other choices contain three components but no water solvent; they therefore cannot be aqueous merely because they are mixtures. A solution may receive more than one classification when different criteria are used.
