Why is salt dissolved in water called a liquid solution?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because solvent water is liquid
A solution is generally described by the physical state of its solvent. In salt water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. Because water remains a liquid and dissolves the salt uniformly, the mixture is called a liquid solution. Salt itself is solid, and the remaining choices contradict the definitions of solution and solvent. Therefore A is correct.
