In which example are both solute and solvent gases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Air
Air is a homogeneous gaseous mixture. Its major component acts as the solvent, while the other gases present in smaller amounts act as solutes; therefore both solute and solvent are gases. Sugar water and salt water have liquid water as solvent, whereas brass is a solid alloy. Thus only option A represents a gas-in-gas solution.
