Which statement is correct for a non-aqueous solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The solvent is not water
Aqueous means water-based, so a non-aqueous solution is one whose solvent is not water. The solvent may be another liquid or, depending on the system, a substance in another physical state. A non-aqueous solution can contain a solid, liquid, or gas solute; it is not necessarily solid and it must still contain a solute. Hence A is correct.
