In a homogeneous mixture, the solute is a gas and the solvent is a solid. What is the correct type?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gas in solid solution
The naming convention lists the solute state first and the solvent state second. Here the solute is gas and the solvent is solid, so the correct description is gas in solid. It is not solid in gas because that reverses the roles, and it is not a liquid-involving solution because no liquid is specified.
