Solution

Dear student!

Liquid is a state of matter where , the substance has a definite volume but indefinite shape while an aqueous substance is a special liquid which is formed by dissolving a substance in water .


Liquids and solids have an essentially constant concentration. This is because liquids and solids are practically incompressible. The molecules in liquids and solids are very close together, with very little room to squeeze any closer. Thus liquids are ignored in formulas, but aqueous can be used.
