Which pair can be a good example of a non-aqueous solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Iodine and ethanol
A non-aqueous solution is one in which water is not the solvent. Iodine can dissolve in ethanol, so ethanol acts as the solvent and the resulting solution is non-aqueous. In salt water, sugar water, and oxygenated water, water is the solvent; therefore those are aqueous solutions. Hence option A is the correct example.
