What is the aqueous and non-aqueous solution? Give an example.

Answer»

Aqueous solution: The solution in which water act as a solvent is called aqueous solution. In general, ionic compounds are soluble in water and form aqueous solutions more readily than covalent compounds. 

E.g. Common salt in water.

Non – Aqueous solution: 

The solution in which any liquid, other than water act as a solvent is called non-aqueous solution. Alcohols, benzene, ethers, etc., are used as non – aqueous solvents. 

E.g. Sulphur dissolved in carbon disulphide.
