The true statement about water is that "water solution is also known as an aqueous solution".

WHAT IS AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION:

  • An aqueous solution is a solution that contains a solute dissolved in water as the solvent. Since water is the solvent of an aqueous solution, it is synonymous to a water solution.

  • Water is a polar molecule due to the unequal electrons shared between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms that make up the molecule, hence, it can dissolve most polar or ionic compounds.

  • Water is regarded as a universal solvent meaning that it can dissolve most substances but not ALL, hence, making choice A wrong.

  • Therefore, the true statement about water is that "water solution is also known as an aqueous solution".
