What is common in oxygen in water and salt in water?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The solvent is liquid in both
The governing concept is classification by the solvent and solute states. In oxygenated water, oxygen is a gaseous solute; in salt water, salt is a solid solute. However, water is the solvent in both examples, and water is liquid. Thus both are liquid, aqueous solutions. Option B is false because the solutes have different states, while C and D give incorrect final states. A is correct.
