In which example is water the solvent and the solution also aqueous?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Glucose in water
An aqueous solution is one whose solvent is water, regardless of whether the solute is solid, liquid, or gas. In glucose in water, glucose is the solute and water is the solvent, so the resulting solution is aqueous. Iodine in alcohol is an alcoholic, non-aqueous solution; brass is a solid alloy and air is a gaseous mixture. Thus A is correct.
