Which is the correct identification of an aqueous solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Water is the solvent
An aqueous solution is defined by the identity of its solvent: water must be the solvent. The solute may be a solid, liquid, or gas, so it is not necessarily gaseous. Dissolved solute particles usually cannot be seen separately, and the solution is not always solid. Thus the defining condition is stated in option A, making it correct.
