Which statement about a binary solution is correct?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It contains two components in total
The prefix bi- means two, so a binary solution contains exactly two components in total. In the usual case, one component acts as the solute and the other as the solvent. A binary solution may be solid, liquid, or gaseous, and it can be homogeneous. Thus A is correct, while B incorrectly claims two solvents, C restricts the state without reason, and D contradicts the meaning of a solution.
