What is the general term for a substance dissolved in water?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general term for a substance dissolved in water is an aqueous solution. Aqueous means "related to water" and solution refers to the mixture formed when one or more substances are dissolved in a solvent, in this case, water. Choice A is incorrect because not all substances that can dissolve in water are salts. Choice B is too broad and does not specifically identify the substance as being dissolved in water. Choice D is incorrect because it is redundant to say "water solution" when the solvent is already identified as water. Choice E is incorrect because the question clearly asks for a general term, and "none of the above" does not provide a specific answer.
