If a solid solute completely dissolves in a liquid to form a uniform mixture, what type of solution is it?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Solid in liquid
The type is named by stating the solute state first and the solvent state second. Here the solute is solid and the solvent is liquid, so the correct description is solid in liquid. Complete dissolution and uniformity confirm that it is a solution. The other choices either reverse the states or introduce a gas that is not present.
