Question

an aqueous solution is: a water with a molecular compound dissolved in it. b any liquid with another compound dissolved in it. c an ionic compound with water dissolved in it. d water with another compound dissolved in it.

Explanation:

An aqueous solution is defined as a solution where water acts as the solvent and any compound (molecular or ionic) can be dissolved in it. Option A is too restrictive as it only mentions molecular compounds. Option B is incorrect because it doesn't specify water as the solvent. Option C has the wrong solute - solvent relationship as water is the solvent in an aqueous solution. Option D correctly states that an aqueous solution is water with another compound dissolved in it.

Answer:

D. water with another compound dissolved in it.
