In which example can both solute and solvent be solids?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Brass
Brass is a homogeneous alloy made by mixing solid metals. The major metal can act as the solid solvent and the other metal as the solid solute, giving a solid-in-solid solution. Soda water and oxygen in water have liquid water as solvent, while chloroform in nitrogen has a gaseous solvent, so those cannot satisfy the condition.
