A solution that contains water as the solvent is called an aqueous solution. If carbon disulphide is a solvent in a given solution, then the solution is called ______.

(aqueous solution, non- aqueous solution)

If carbon disulphide (CS₂) is a solvent in a given solution, then the solution is called non-aqueous solution.

ny solution containing water as solvent is known as aqueous solution. This can be understood with example of a salt solution. In a salt solution, salt is the solute and water is the solvent, therefore it is an aqueous solution. But when a solution has any liquid other than water as solvent then it is known as non-aqueous solution. For example a solution of sulphur in carbon disulphide is a non-aqueous solution because here solvent is carbon disulphide and not water.
