What name is given to a solution in which water is the solvent?
AA saturated solution
BA standard solution
CA stock solution
DAn aqueous solution
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. An aqueous solution
1. The solvent is the component present at the highest concentration.
2. When that component is water, the solution is called an aqueous solution.
3. Such solutions are very common on our planet.
4. A stock solution is a concentrated solution kept for later dilution, which is a different idea entirely.
