* Aqueous solution: This means a solution where water is the solvent.
* Methanol: This is a highly polar molecule that can readily dissolve in water.
Therefore, a solution of methanol and water is an aqueous solution. However, if methanol is mixed with another solvent (like ethanol), it's no longer an aqueous solution.
In summary:
* Yes, methanol can be part of an aqueous solution if water is the solvent.
* No, methanol is not part of an aqueous solution if a different solvent is used.
