Aqueous Solution

An aqueous solution is basically a mixture of two things: water and something else that dissolves in water.

Imagine you have a glass of water, and you want to put some sugar in it. You stir the sugar into the water until it disappears completely. Now, you have a sugar-water mixture, and this is called an aqueous solution.

In simple words, "aqueous" just means "in water." So when something is dissolved in water, we can call it an aqueous solution. It's like when you mix things together in water, and they become one, like sugar in water or salt in water. The water can hold onto these things and make them disappear, creating a solution.
