Which option gives an incorrect statement about aqueous solutions?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: An aqueous solution is always a solid solution
Aqueous means that water is the solvent. The solute may be solid, liquid, or gas: salt, alcohol, and oxygen can all form aqueous solutions when they dissolve in water. Since water is generally liquid, aqueous solutions are commonly liquid, but the definition does not say they are always solid. Salt water is a valid aqueous solution. Therefore the incorrect statement is C.
