We frequently define an acid or a base as a substance whose aqueous solution gives, respectively, a higher concentration of hydrogen ion or of hydroxide ion than that furnished by pure water. This is a very one sided definition.

I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment.

Used often in chemistry and biology to describe water-based environments or solutions.

Science Context

Something aqueous is not necessarily wet to the touch; water might be in a dissolved state.

Not Always Visible

Aqueous often implies a clear, water-like appearance, but not always colorless.

Clear Like Water

Used to describe environments with high moisture, such as swamps or rainforests.

Natural Settings

Conveys the feeling of humidity or dampness in an environment or material.

Feel of Moisture

Often used to describe procedures or methods in various fields that actively use water.

Practical Applications

Aqueous methods are typically considered more environmentally friendly due to less chemical use.

Environmental Friendliness

 Right next to Iris is the mucus layer, which keeps the whole thing fastened to her. On top of it is the aqueous layer, which keeps Iris hydrated, repels invasive bacteria, and protects her skin, or cornea, from damage. And, finally, there is the lipid layer,

Why do we cry? The three...

 We have thousands of organisms that can do this. These organisms can be totally desiccated; they can live in a vacuum. I am absolutely certain that life can exist in outer space, move around, find a new aqueous environment.
