Open in App
Solution

  • Aqueous solutions contain liquid water as their solvent.
  • Those solutions in which solvent is other than liquid are called nonaqueous. For example, benzene acts as a solvent.
  • That is, water molecules surround and assimilate solute (dissolved) ions and molecules into the water's network of bonds.
  • For example, in a sugar solution, sugar has been dissolved in water and acts as a solute, and forms an aqueous solution.
  • Thus Aqueous solution is prepared by dissolving a solute in water.
